I keep /usr/bsd in my path on Irix machines for access to the BSD bits still around, but Irix is very much SysV. > There are no UNIXes out there that don't include at > least some BSD code, and I'm not talking about old > UNIX versions.

If you read the copyright notices I posted previously, you'll see that they infer that the AT&T licensed code includes some Berkeley code, which is why there's a Berkeley reference in there. I still have an R3000 Indigo here that works, but I don't have a complete set of 4.0.x install media (it's currently running 5.3), or I'd check and see if perhaps 4.x and earlier Irix versions were BSD based, but I don't think so. The writer of the article referenced above was using 6.5.17, and should definately have realized he was on a SysV based Unix.
