To: bugs@mit.edu
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 10:44:32 -0400
From: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya@MIT.EDU>

System name:		quickstation-50-1.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.0.15
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6a SVGA

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		ctwm -s

What were you trying to do?
	Use this particular machine.

What's wrong:
	/etc/shadow was missing and nothing seems to automatically
	restore it.  (This prevented any non-root console logins,
	though perhaps xlogin wasn't affected, I didn't check.)

	Also, /etc/athena/verify on bootup complains about not being
	able to stat /afs/athena/system/rhlinux/config/9.0.15/etc/inetd.conf
	and .../conf.linuxconf (presumably from STEP 3).

What should have happened:
	/etc/shadow should have been copied out of AFS or otherwise
	regenerated, probably.
