Daniel,

Actually, since I posted the note to the Listserv I had the occasion to talk
to IBM Level 2 (they were calling back on the backup problems we've been
having with the automounted directories - there is a fix out in fixtest BTW
for those who are interested).   I asked the Level 2 person about using the
2.5.1 code on the 2.6 machine and she said that I would have no problem.

But we'll be ordering the code from IBM anyhow (I don't like downloading
anything other than fixes).
