I seem to recall that comment has been there since around Red Hat
3.0.3, but I could be imagining things.  (And I can't verify this,
because the old versions seem to have disappeared from the FTP site.)

I seem to recall that "VARs" in this case meant "Caldera Network
Desktop", so (if I'm remembering this right) it is a little odd that
those lines are still there.  :-)
