System name:		m4-167-7
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.2R
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	Use the "library access" option of xlogin.

What's wrong:
	In the console window, two lines appear:

		Starting mwm window manager...
		[...]
		/mit/library/rtbin/timer: not an RT executable

What should have happened:
	This account doesn't need a window manager.  I'd rather start
	up 30 seconds faster than be able to move the window around.

	/mit/library/rtbin/timer should either be an RT program or
	not exist.

	/mit/library/.startup.X sets $XENVIRONMENT to a pathname
	beginning with "/afs/athena/astaff".  The pathname should
	either (1) be changed to refer to a file in /mit/library
	or (2) be changed to /afs/athena/system/...  The contents
	of /afs/athena/astaff should never be referenced except by
	astaff or using a hesiod filesystem name.
