Well, yeah, I realize that (and there are some cool whois replacements out
there to choose from, too)...but that isn't the point. Why would Sun assume
that a command so basic to TCP/IP shouldn't be installed, and what the heck
else is missing that users will stumble and fall over?
The problem isn't the difficulty of correcting Sun's error, the problem is
the attitude that would make such a simplistic error...
