Yeah that was me... I totally hoerked it up at one point and didn't
realize what I was looking at.

Another source of confusion was the rule that no capital letters are
allowed in the name.  The error message was "bad name" and the man
page didn't mention that capitals were disallowed either.

It was then explained to me that "I'd have figured it out or gone back
to linux".

Yay for advocacy and the assumption that I actually use linux :).  I
guess you get what you pay for. :)
