Hi --
Sun recently donated a large-screeen high-ram sparc 5 that it
would be nice to fit into the Athena environment.
We've requested the name "kahn" for it but it hasn't come through
the hesiod mill yet.
I understand that there will be software support fee. Presumably
it will be pro-rated to the end of the fiscal year.
We'd like to accomplish the hesiod entries as quickly as possible.
Phil has already tried to install the machine with the Athena
bootkit, and it all works except that hesiod has no info so it all
dies after the first deactivation. Fixing the hesiod tables would
fix it all, I do believe.
Please let me know what I need to let you know in order to get
this going.
Thanks!
Rob
