Sorry, at five in the morning I misread that and didn't realize you meant 
you were adding a .forward file.  That's quite standard unix behavior and 
will work on any unix derivative.  I'm shocked Cobalt recommends it though;

Thanks for this pointer.  Though I've used linux since kernel version 0.99, 
back in 1994, I'm quite new on RaQs myself.

Hopefully this will resolve at some point.
