I logged into this workstation (w20-575-53, vs2000) after noticing strange
messages being printed on activation and deactivation. Someone had been
obnoxious and hacked activate and deactivate, so I decided to run track to see
if anything else had been hacked.
Imagine my surprise when track told me that everything that had supposedly
been updated by the 6.0R update needed to be updated again! I figured "Well,
track my be right," and told it to go ahead and do all the updating. I was
wrong.
For some reason, this workstation, and (as far as I can tell) all of the
other VAX workstations in the w20 cluster, are serving off of 6.0C srvd packs,
NOT 6.0R srvd packs, even though many of them have already been updated to
6.0R. Here's what I think is proof of this:
w20-575-53# attach
bldgw20-vssys-60R on /srvd
bldgw20-vsusr-60R on /urvd
w20-575-53# ls -l /srvd/bin/athena/attach
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 131072 Jul 30 13:50 /srvd/bin/athena/attach
bldg11-vssys-60r: RVD mounted MAEANDER.MIT.EDU:vssys on /mnt (read-only)
w20-575-53# ls -l /mnt/bin/athena/attach
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 113664 Oct 24 20:17 /mnt/bin/athena/attach
So, when I ran track to (or at least I thought) restore the workstation to the
standard 6.0R configuration, I actually punted it back to 6.0C.
Could someone PLEASE explain to me why the w20 workstations are using 6.0
C packs instead of the 6.0R packs they were updated with?
