The Sun Blade 100 quickstation qsw32-1 in the gym lobby is acting up.
First, I was able to login, but I couldn't use the 'show' command
(I got permission denied on mhshow), plus the 'l' key would delete
characters from the line, while the 'Del' key would print a tilde
and beep.

I rebooted the machine, which took a very long time, and then I couldn't
login at all except as root.  The messages were that 
/usr/athena/lib/init/xsession and /etc/athena/krb5/krb5.conf couldn't
be found.  I'm not sure about the second path, but it definitely
was looking for krb5.conf.  Another reboot didn't help.

This machine probably needs a reinstall.  These problems sound a lot
like those that I saw on m1-115-2 yesterday.  Is something going on
with this release?

Tom
