A new bug to add:
- discuss dumps core if you try to print a transaction before entering
a meeting. (I know what the problem is and how to fix it; I'll do it
shortly.)
Here are some responses to existing items:
> - missing Moira binaries (which usually are pointers to the moira locker) [0005] FIXED?
This has been fixed.
> - We have only emacs19 (should be invoked as emacs19) [0005] ???
There is now a symlink pointing from emacs to emacs19.
> - discuss isn't in the default emacs load-path. [0008, 0009, 0031] FIXED?[0032]
Fixed.
> - techinfo link or other problem? [0044,0045] FIXED?[0061]
This is in fact fixed.
> - xdsc dumps core [0019] FIXED?
This has NOT been fixed, empirically.
> - error message "Cannot open DBM database /usr/lib/aliases: No such file or directory" [0020] FIXED?
> - "sol24 user unknown" when sending mail [0039] FIXED???
Neither of these appear to be the case any longer.
> - long bootup time problem FIXED?[0021]
Yes, this is fixed.
> - emacs19, when built with Sun's Motif libraries, dumps core [0053]
This should say "Sun's X toolkit libraries"; emacs (as we build it)
doesn't use Motif.
> - AFS shutdown hangs (is that the same as "'WARM shutting down of: rx...' [0022]")
Yes, it's the same.
> - /usr/athena/config imake templates are not there (but there are the /source templates and /usr/athena/lib/X11/config ones) [0005]
These are here, although a bit out of date. This will be resolved
when things are rebuilt, and doesn't need to be tracked here.
> - last says Dot is still logged in when she's not [6]
Did your machine crash around the time of [6]? It would still be a
bug if "last" reported that you were still logged in, even if so.
(It's supposed to say "<login time> - crash".
> - aklog in afsuser dumps core, other problems with afsuser locker [0023, 0025]
These are not bugs, although we should consider making a sun4m_54 arch
subdirectory in afsuser at some point.
> - xmkmf generates makefiles that don't work [0030]
A better phrasing would be "imake doesn't understand XCOMM." This has
been fixed (Miki had the wrong imake installed for a while, by
mistake).
> - /usr/tmp/attachtab was corrupted [0036]
It's arguable that we should do a "detach -L" to lint the attachtab
file at boot time. attachtab tends to get corrupted on machines that
crash frequently; I don't think it's a systemic problem with the
Athena software.
