==================
mgmorris logged out just before 1:00. the bldg11 gateway went down for
a couple of minutes in there. krishna managed to log in about 1:10.
Typing zctl new_server cleared up the discrepancy. I guess the server I had
been on was confused. The hesiod for caliban indicates my default is
neskaya. copilot's is not listed.
