Installed a microvax 2 in w20 this morning and encountered some
problems using diskettes created form the files in locker.

First, although I used the address of an existing WS and the
cluster info was as follows, the version I got came up as 6.3.

Paddington# hesinfo w20-575-65 cluster
usrlib bldgw20-vsusr-62A 6.2A
syslib bldgw20-vssys-62A 6.2A
usrlib bldgw20-vsusr-60R 6.0R
syslib bldgw20-vssys-60R 6.0R
usrlib bldgw20-vsusr-60C 6.0C
syslib bldgw20-vssys-60C 6.0C
lpr bldgw20
prcluster bldgw20
syslib bldgw20-vssys-55T 5.5T


Then I ran the mkserv script and it wouldn't run.  It fails on the
following comparison unless you set the environment variable SRVDIR
before running the script.  The comparison fails 'cause /srvd/servers
is a link and pwd returns something different.

if ($?SRVDIR == 0) setenv SRVDIR /srvd/servers
chdir $SRVDIR
if (`pwd` != $SRVDIR) then
        echo "Can't find standard server install directory."
        exit 1
endif

The above is from "/srvd/servers/mkserv".

Are these bugs or did I do something wrong?
