NO, I checked the code (in CDC's EP/IX version of Unix , where BSD. SVR3 and
SVR4 are living happely thogether as one system...) and the code in rmt
is the same as in NetBSD. The man page is screwed ind I will file a complaint
report (PSR) to them. So: "our" NetBSD rmt is fine, nothing wrong with,
my patch (not published) was quickly removed.
Regards, Gerard.
PS, As stated before, I was jumping conclusions too fast...
