System name: athanatos
Type and version: KN02ca 7.6G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
run mkds on a machine that is a successful discuss server
What's wrong:
it hangs:
athanatos% mkds
Meeting host: [default athanatos.MIT.EDU]:
Meeting location [default /usr/spool/discuss]:
Long meeting name: Cookie_Marketing
Short meeting name: cookies
Should this meeting be public [y]? y
A bad pathname was given. Can't create meeting.
It doesn't matter if I answer y or n to the "public" question. It doesn't
matter if I type the path/hostnames or take the default.
What should have happened:
It should have finished going thru the mkds process, including asking for an
initial transaction and an announcement, and creating a discuss meeting.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
athanatos% cat /var/server/.services
remote 1.8
discuss 1.5
mail 1.2
nfs 1.3
I'm working on the private workstations document, and trying to check the
info about mkserv discuss that's there.
