Hi (again),

After the 9.0.17 patch release for Linux, some cluster machines are still
stuck between versions 9.0.15 and 9.0.17.  They won't take further updates
because of this, and they are also allowing logins even though they're not
running reactivate, which makes the machines more susceptible to compromise.
From athinfo scans, the public cluster/quickstation type machines I was able
to identify in this state (though there could be more) are:

M56-129-29
M56-129-30
NEWHOUSE-2
NEWHOUSE-5
W20-575-23

They should all be fixable by making them take 9.0.18... sorry to bug you
with it.

Thanks for your help,
Mitch
