The SIPB man page for websterd is not partiularly friendly:
------------

tisiphone% man -k websterd
websterd (8)            - Webster's dictionary server
tisiphone% man 8 websterd
No entry for websterd in section 8 of the manual.


And:
------------
WEBSTERD(8)         UNIX Programmer's Manual          WEBSTERD(8)

...

FILES
     /mit/dictionary/Index    Index of the word files
     /mit/dictionary/[a-z]*   The word files
------------

But:
------------
tisiphone% attach dictionary
attach: /afs/athena.mit.edu/project/webster linked to /mit/webster for filesystem dictionary

------------
The mount-point is /mit/webster, not /mit/dictionary.  Attaching
"webster" gives identical results.

Either Hesiod should be changed to mount "dictionary" as
/mit/dictionary to correspond with the man page, or the man page
should be updated to correspond with reality.
