System name:		the-other-woman.MIT.EDU
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 8.1.8
Display type:		cgthree, cgsix

What were you trying to do?
	determine what sort of display a machine had


What went wrong?
	machtype -d always says cgthree on suns.  It's hardcoded.


What should have happened?
	not cgthree, on a machine without a display card.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	/usr/athena/bin/sysinfo is more accurate if more verbose.

	I suppose this fits in the extremely low priority category. :-)
