I have this same behavior with AIX clients on an AIX server (3.1.2.20). I
just
got into the habit of 'quit'ting out of the client and restarting it if I
need
to run another command using 'virtualnode'. I would be interested in knowing
if
there is a fix for this also.

Below is an example of what I am trying to do. I changed the permissions on
the file and then when I type the command in again I get the error that
-virtualn is an invalid option, but it let me use it the first time. What's
up with this?
up with this?
