System name: m37-332-4
Type and version: POWER 7.3R
Display type: colorgda
What were you trying to do?
login as root to fix attachtab
What's wrong:
The console shows:
12:27 Athena Workstation (RSAIX) Version 7.3R Thu Oct 24 19:21:55 EDT 1991
12:27 Badly formatted entry in /usr/tmp/attachtab
12:27 quota: aborting
12:27 Jan 4 12:27:42 m37-332-4 login: ROOT LOGIN on tty pts/0
What should have happened:
root login should not attempt to run any program involving NFS
or other remote filesystems, as such a program may hang.
