Hi all, 
   these two workstations had these problems:

Jefferson: had time out of bounds error, as its internal clock was way off after
a power-hit and IBM RTs don't connect correctly to the network time servers.  I
logged in as root, ran the date command to reset the internal clock, and now it
works fine.

Meier:     keyboard was not responsive.  I power-cycled the workstation and now
it can't attach its system packs.  I guess a site visit would be in order.  A
student asked me while I was sitting at it  when it would be working again.

N52-431-P: keyboard and terminal were frozen.  I powercycled the terminal with
no reponse from the print server.  With the terminal known to be working, I
powercycled the server.   Now it is working fine.


So, only Meier needs any attention.  Its main problem seems to be "can't attach
system libraries ... continuing."  Good luck.

There are two athena wkstations on the third floor N52 that are not 
letting people log in. 

One of them is unalbe to authenticate password

The other is just not doing anything--dead.

I called him back to get the machine names and exact locations, but no 
one answered the phone.
