What were you trying to do?
Log in at a workstation in "terminal-style" mode. Meaning, I press F3
before submitting my username and password for login.
What's wrong:
I always get the messages:
> A new thesis printer, w20thesis, is now available for use in the W20
> Copytech Center. The W20 Copytech Center is open from 11am to midnight,
> Monday-Friday, and 10am-7pm, Saturday and Sunday.
>
> Please contact OLC through the "olc" command or by calling x3-4435 if
> you have any questions regarding this printer.
>
> As the semester comes to an end, use of Athena increases dramatically,
> and becomes much more important educationally. Please be considerate
> and cooperative.
>
> Do not play games on workstations when there are people who may want
> to log in. Do not tie up multiple workstations. Do not leave a
> workstation screensaved for more than 10 minutes or use an untimed
> screensaver.
>
> From now until the end of the semester, workstations kept locked for
> more than 10 minutes or multiple workstations used by a single user
> may be rebooted without notice. Violations of Athena Rules of Use can
> lead to disciplinary action, with possibly serious consequences.
Under X, they only show up once, more or less. Same with dialup. But
under terminal-style login, every time
What should have happened:
Similar behavior to what happens under X?
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Shabby said that he thinks it stems from /usr/athena/lib/init. The call
to "get_message" isn't using the -n (-new?) flag. I would think that
the get_message call there would use "-n -l".
