Prof. Larry Bucciarelli has an Athenized Maxine in his office.
He can't login.

After trying various things over the phone (including seeing that the
network cables were still attached), I had him login as root and do
a "shutdown -r now".  When the machine comes back up, it hangs at the
point where it is trying to set time from over the network.  It sounds
like something network-related is wrong.  Please have somebody check
into this.

The machine name is "molly.mit.edu".  His office is 3-282, phone x3-4061.
