[SunHELP] more linuxisms

[David Bishop]

Unfortunetly, it is dying *before* the login box.  I.e., I haven't put a 
username/password in for the remote box yet, so I don't see how putting 
something in their home directory will help.  Sorry if that wasn't clear in 
my first (rambling) email.

Thanks,

D.A.Bishop
