What were you trying to do?
figure out whether I'd left a message in /etc/noremote on my
sun, so I cat'd the file.
What went wrong?
47 blank lines were desplayed.
What should have happened?
/etc/init.d/athena shouldn't insert a blank line into
/etc/no{remote,create,attach} (It will if the file is supposed
to exist)
Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
It looks like the person who ported the script from older
platforms cpoied the relevant section and removed the '-n' because it
is well known that echo on the sun doesn't support the -n option.
However, this results in a blank line being added to these files every
time the machine boots.
Here's a patch that should solve the problem:
