Hi Garry.  Thanks, that got me further but I'mstill having trouble 
running 'update_ws' as follows:

mackerel.whoi.edu# update_ws
Shutting down audit subsystem                              [FAILED]
Beginning update from 9.3.12 to 9.3.18 at Wed Aug 16 10:44:14 EDT 2006.
Version: $Id: update,v 1.21 2005/09/01 21:29:04 amb Exp $
About to update rpms.  The following step can take from 20 minutes to
several hours depending on network and processor performance, and
there will be no output in the interim.  Do not reboot or interrupt
this process.  Starting update at Wed Aug 16 10:44:14 EDT 2006.
Update would break dependencies:
         liblaus.so.1 is needed by laus-0.1-66RHEL3.i386
         liblaussrv.so.0 is needed by laus-0.1-66RHEL3.i386
*** The update has failed ***
Please contact Athena Cluster Services at x3-1410.  -Athena Operations
