Actually, his questions seemed pretty basic and not specifically about
administration, so I think comp.unix.questions would probably be more
appropriate than comp.unix.admin. But lots of posters don't seem to
make this distinction (they think that if they happen to be using a
command like "mv" to perform an administrative task, and they have a
question, .admin is the place to go).
