System name:		sonny
Type and version:	SPARC/IPX 7.5A
Display type:		

What were you trying to do?
	log in as root

What's wrong:
	i was given an xterm without confirmation

What should have happened:
	in keeping with the design of the present release (in my
	opinion, a POOR modificataion), there should have been a
	window telling me I would not receive tickets, and confirming
	whether I would like to continue the login regardless.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	most recent athena release notes, if any ever got written.
