System name: distraction.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 9.2.13 (with mkserv)
Display type:
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: /usr/local/bin/vtwm.gamma
machtype -d returns no output unless run as root. This is apparently
because X -showconfig catches some sort of permission failure and
spews an error instead of displaying verison info. Strangely, it
seems to lose less if run under strace.
