Just to be nitpicking: Not on my 10.2.2:

ls -li /usr/bin/grep /usr/bin/egrep
1054389 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  93348 Nov 27 10:30 /usr/bin/egrep*
1054409 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  93348 Nov 27 10:30 /usr/bin/grep*

The Inodes are different (and the link count is 1) But you're
right, on other systems it is true. Here's OpenBSD:

ls -li /usr/bin/grep /usr/bin/egrep /usr/bin/fgrep
383735 -r-xr-xr-x  3 root  bin  77824 Apr 28  2001 /usr/bin/egrep*
383735 -r-xr-xr-x  3 root  bin  77824 Apr 28  2001 /usr/bin/fgrep*
383735 -r-xr-xr-x  3 root  bin  77824 Apr 28  2001 /usr/bin/grep*

I always thought :0.0 to be the same as $LOCALHOSTNAME:0.0
