System name: tla
Type and version: KN01 7.7E (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
reconfigure the lees.mit.edu cell since it switched subnets
yesterday.
What's wrong:
fs DOES NOT WORK
specifically:
1) fs listcells produces corrupt output:
tla:/mit/moiradev/decmipsbuild/clients/moira: fs listcells

note that I tried to fs newcell sipb.mit.edu, so that may be why there
are two cells with rosebud and ronald-ann in them.
2) fs newcell of an existing cell does not do anything. I
managed to fs newcell the lees cell with the 7.6 fs; it was also
producing less corrupt (but not perfect) output to fs listcells.
What should have happened:
fs newcell should have re-configured the cell, and fs
listcells should have reported the full cellname not just the last two
characters, when it bothered at all.
Note that fs seems to work on 7.7 suns, I didn't try the RS6000.
