What were you trying to do?
	run the weather command.

What's wrong:

It didn't work until I add -f'd the weather locker.

tibbetts@isle-of-skye:~$ add weather
tibbetts@isle-of-skye:~$ weather
failed to telnet to weather server
tibbetts@isle-of-skye:~$ add -f weather
tibbetts@isle-of-skye:~$ weather bos

  Humidity: 73%                    Dewpoint: 65 F (18.3 C)
Visibility: 10 mi
 Barometer: 29.73 inHg

tibbetts@isle-of-skye:~$ 

What should have happened:
     It should have worked.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
     You should probably just remove the /usr/bin/weather command from
redhat systems.
