System name:		cogsworth
Type and version:	SPARC/5 7.7U (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

	I noticed that there is a /usr/athena/bin/scribe.
The script has the following in it:

machine="`/bin/athena/machtype`"

case $machine in
        rsaix|decmips|sparc)
...
however machtype on the sun returns sun4 and not sparc
so I get: Unknown machine type $machine - Contact Athena Operations

but i am not sure why this is still on the syspacks since scribe
was basically desupported a while ago and was not supported on
the suns.
