I've installed Mark Eichin's sources for the Global Message System on
paris, and will copy them to minos shortly.
The sources are in source/4.3/bin.athena/gms. The user program
installs in /bin/athena; I don't know of a determined location for the
server yet. The makefile builds only the client program on "all" and
"install"; "server" (or "message_daemon") and "installserver" build
the server, though since I haven't got a pathname for the server,
"installserver" will always fail. (It executes "false".)
I have also added Mark's changes to /bin/login to run get_message
rather than gmotd.
The change to /etc/services appears to be in place already.
At some point we'll need a mkserv script for the server side of
this....
