Thanks. I will apply to this to the main tree.

In tigerrc, notice that some variables to OS specific checks might be 
reused. For example there is a check_network for Linux but I also have a 
preliminary check_network for Solaris, Tiger_Check_NETWORKCONFIG would 
be used by both. It does not make much sense to define variables in 
scripts such as systems/$OS/check  because users would not look at those 
for customisation (they would just look the configuration files which is 
tigerrc and tigercron).

I'm doing some changes for this in the CVS, please check them out.
