Yeah sure, but that begs the question... what is it actually *used*
for?
I have never seen any point in worrying about it myself, since I've
never seen it actually used anywhere. Unless I've missed something
somewhere (but unlikely, as I've been crawling around redhat systems
for 2 years now, since rh4.2).
As suggested, it's probably an obselete legacy feature that needs
removing.
