What were you trying to do?
logging in
What's wrong:
Nothing really "went wrong" it's just that I noticed some oddities, as
follows:
When I came up to my workstation it was in the process of scrolling
some text off the screen (it was in toehold) that said something like
/etc/athena/deactivate ???????? core dumped
(the ?????? are some gibberish I don't rememberm, it scrolled off too fast)
Then while I was logging in, I got the following messages on my console:
10:46 Jun 13 10:46:58 laika xlogin: Interrupted system call
10:46 Jun 13 10:46:58 laika xlogin: File /etc/gtmp left lying around when it
should not have been.
These may be completely unrelated, I don't know, but I thought I'd
report them. Everything else seems to have gone normally, and so far
my workstation is behaving just fine, so it's not fatal or anything.
I have found the core file (I think, at any rate, it has the right
time on it) and will save it just in case anybody's interested.
What should have happened:
I shouldn't have gotten these messages...
