Hi Everyone,

This list is great. Thanks for the quick responses from
Dr. Tom Blinn
Stephen LaBelle
Allan E Johannesen

To restate the question:

As Dr. Blinn pointed out:
It's configurable (or at least should be) in /etc/sysconfigtab, as written
up in the release notes. If you are still seeing a problem once you set it
up as documented, then there's a bug (perhaps introduced by a patch).

The other responses were pretty much the same. Something that we noted was
that you do not have to reboot the machine to make this change affective.

Thanks again to everyone.

Cheers,
