I checked the file and PUBLIC was false so I called the athena help people and
they talked me through the update. I have gotten to the point where one would
login as root and reset the remote but it is not working. The athena help people
(I actually talked to Oliver, his number is 39682) said that someone could
come by and update the machine for me. When can someone come by? I took
notes on everything I did. I am now trying to run dialup on a sun, so it is
probably easier to reach me by phone at 36898
Thanks!

Hi -
You need to check the following file:
more /etc/athena/rc.conf
check to make sure public=true
PUBLIC=true; export PUBLIC # Public workstation?
If public is set to true try rebooting the system.
If public is set to false change to true and reboot.
If this doesn't do the trick you more than likely
will need a software reinstall.
If we do not hear from you by 5pm today we'll assume the
system is ok and will close the note on our end.
