This looks like a configuration error, rather than a bug; we don't have
a way to fix it remotely, and since it shouldn't be causing a problem,
I'm reluctant to ask the hardware services team to make a visit to fix it.
Do feel free to fix it yourself, next time you're down there; you
can get the root password by running 'tellme root' then you can 'su'
to become root before editing that file. (OLC should also be able to
help you with this, and can also tell you whether it's appropriate to
fix things like this in the future.)
