2.2.2 is quite old now, why not install 2.2.6? (which has more bug fixes
and features etc.)

It's documented in the ERRATA.TXT file that comes with the 2.2.2 release
files...

Unfortunately I don't have access to the file anymore... :-(  As far as I
can remember you need to get a copy (or updated copy) of the file
'login.conf' in /etc

If the machine has a very important job on your network - it may be better
looking at 2.2.6 as a more stable option (and easily supported - all the
2.2.2-RELEASE sources have disappeared from most of the FTP sites -
cutting off 'easy' access to them)
