What were you trying to do?
Keep users from confusing `add' and `attach'.
What went wrong?
; get_message
New Athena Public Cluster: An additional Athena cluster is opening
Monday Jan 30th at 1:00pm in 2-032. Available for use will
be (16) SparcStation 5 workstations and a postscript printer.
SECURITY ALERT: recently many accounts on MITnet have been compromised
by "packet sniffers." Protect yourself and MITnet, take precautions!
Change your password frequently, use telnet -safe. For more
information, type:

E-mail questions or comments to <net-security@mit.edu>
; ls /mit/info/{*bin,man}
ls: No match.
What should have happened?
s/add/attach/p
Anything else you'd like to add?
The global MOTD shouldn't encourage confusion in users (and it
shouldn't waste the cycles and network bandwidth doing the useless
`add' stuff anyway).
