The /etc/group file was corrupt. The RS/6k doesn't normally use
/etc/group.local (although when the workstation reactivates, it will
copy /etc/group.local to /etc/group if it exists). The only
difference I saw in the formats between navigator's /etc/group file
and atc's was a * in the second field instead of a !.
inetd wasn't running either.
I ftped brahma's (another rs6k) group file to atc, and started inetd.
It seemed better (I was able to login, finger @atc, and such), but it
was still doing some funky things (hanging indefinitely on xsetroot,
and refusing to even let root kill the process with -9).
After a reboot it seems alright, but who knows...
I think it wouldn't hurt if hotline still took a look at it.
