This is the same problem that first I reported in October re:
menhaden. The system is up now, but because I need to include
new gateway info in menhaden's local rc.net, I still have the
problem that any software downloads/upgrades wipe my local changes
and require that I re-edit my local file. Since this is a
maintenance headache that can be avoided (simply, I thought) I'm
still trying to get the correct gateway info in place at MIT so
software downloads will include the info needed by menhaden to
boot automatically w/out my having to edit anything (like it used
to be before menhaden was moved).
The only reason OLC was dragged into this was because I couldn't
get anywhere w/hotline since it is net folks' problem and they
offer no solution for this since it is felt to be system support
folks' problem; system support folk say to wait for a future
software release. Someone along the line suggested I use OLC for
this. So, I think I've involved just about everyone there is at
this point!
