System name:		sunny
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.6L
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Log on.

What's wrong:
	The workstation reported that;

23:37 /etc/athena/cleanup: /etc/nologin already exists, not performing cleanup.

	and upon attempting to log on I got an error stating that cleanup
	was currently in progress and that I should wait a few seconds and
	try again.

	After trying serveral time, I couldn't log on.  [I logged in as root
	and rm'd /etc/nologin."

What should have happened:
	cleanup should have "cleaned" up after itself in the first place!

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
