Bob,

BTW, I don't know if this was related, but I could not login to my Athena
workstation this morning.  It said that activation was not complete. I tried
rebooting it and it did not help.  I logged in via the console and got error
messages about unable to find /var/athena/attachtab/mountpoint. I had to
manually recreate it and "locker" in order to get things to work.

I assume it is some sort of bug in the activation process that was affected
by the DDOS, but it should have been able to recover (thus the cc to bugs).

I just thought you might be interested.

Roger
