Hi!  My name is Ben Morse, I work in the ATIC Lab in 11-103.  We have a Sparc
4 that we shut down for the y2k rollover, and it failed to come back up.
It gets to the normal login screen but when you try to log in, it says that
the workstation failed to reactivate successfully.  Here's what the console
window says:

Could not open attachtab file /var/athena/attachtab/locker/athena-sun4sys-83:
Is a directory.
/etc/athena/reactivate: /srvd/auto_update: not found
Workstation failed to activate successfully.
Please notify the Athena Hotline, x3-1410, hotline@mit.edu.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I could go about fixing this?
