I found this Sun in a "stuck" state where its normal login window would disappear
with a dialog box with the message that "Password and Login name not
specified..." I am not sure if that was the message because this "cycling"
between was happening too fast for a human eyes. Also a keyboard key "seemed" to
be stuck because of the normal keyrepeat beep. Anyhow, set-default and normal
reboot didn't help. Watch-net command seemed to give message to the affect that
No Carrier-twisted pair cable problems on disabled hub link test.
I couldn't think of anything else so booted from floppy to reinstall system.
Just pinged/fingered this workstatiohn and someone seems to be using it. Guess
my last guess was god enough. Its up ans running now.
