I saw a mention in a recent OLC log that rrn generated incorrect
"From:" fields when run from the RS/6000. Specifically, it constructs
an address using the user's workstation name, rather than
"athena.mit.edu".
(This was [4828] in OLC-networks.)
So, I tried it out. The steps, as close as I can recall them, were:
rlogin rosebud
attach -n -r sipb
set path=(/mit/sipb/rsaixbin $path)
setenv HOME /usr/tmp
setenv DOTDIR /usr/tmp
rrn
g mit.test
resubscribe? y
$

blah, blah, blah, do I really want to do this: y
prepared file: (none)
what editor? vi
(entered text "This is a test.\n\nMatt")
Send, abort, edit, or list? send
This all happened about 10:55 A.M. today. Somewhat later, I found the
following article:
Article 617 of mit.test:

This is a test.

I haven't reported this behavior to the OLC user or consultant,
although this might be the right thing, if it's confirmed to be a bug.
