Have we fixed this? I think so, but I'd like confirmation before I
close the report.

On bootup, a public Linux workstation running 8.4.8 gives the
following error:
Public workstation cleanup/etc/athena/verify: /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/rhlinux: No such file or directory
/etc/athena/verify: Can't find system area /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/rhlinux.
This is probably because AFS isn't started until somewhat later in the
boot process.
All in all, this probably fortunate, because otherwise public machines
would eat themselves. Actually running the verify script takes a
rather long time, makes some changes to the machine which shouldn't be
necessary, and destroys /etc/athena/rc.conf (presumably because it
doesn't check to make sure that there is actually one present in the
config area before overwriting it).
