now, now ... calm down ...text replying leaves a lot to be inferred or
missed ....

and the answer is simple (for me) .. there are two lines of text at the
top of the hostperm.1 file. These lines made me believe that since it
was auto-generated then don't bother to add to it ... hmmm? makes sense
... I mean, it would be easier to input the user's _extra_  pref's at
the end as opposed to writing some code to search/sift though the
_previous_ hostperm.1 and extract what _seemingly_ didn't belong there
.... could be the user had inadvertently not updated in six weeks ... or
had accidentally reinserted an older version of hostperm.1

 ... golly ... a nightmare to correctly identify what I had added ...
better to write a comment line at the top which says:

# Permission File
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.

Then I won't edit it and, thus, save it with new text therein.


which is what I saw at the top ....alas, I edited it anyway.
