Hi,

I am having a very serious problem now. 
I have tried to create a named pipe at shell level 
using the mknod command but it is not possible.

I have looked at the man file for mknod in other UNIX and its
seems to be able to do so by "mknod abc_pine p"
but it is not available in BSD 2.0

Anyone come across this problem ?  Please HELP.

URGENT.
