My reading of the man doesn't suggest that -h "shouldn't be supplied then", ie that -h 1 is only the default *iff* you supply -h at all, not that -h 1 is default if you don't mention -h .. but I could be mistaken! > I can only think of two possibilities: > > 1) There is a bug in whatever version of FreeBSD you are running and > -h 1 is somehow *not* the default. 6.2 Release? > > 2) There is some kind of bug with your command line, but without > seeing it, I can't tell. > > Glad you got the problem worked around; when I finally get around to > 6.2 I will be curious to see if I can replicate the problem. Or perhaps it only requires clarification / better phrasing in the man? Cheers, Ian
