System name:		speaker-for-the-dead.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-1 8.2.0
Display type:		ffb

What were you trying to do?
	re-take the 8.2.0 update since a bunch of things have changed*


What went wrong?
	Several things:

/os is mode 777 and these permissions were tracked onto /
(This did not occur the first time I took 8.2.0 on 5/7/1998


I noticed teh following as weird, although it isn't necessarily wrong:
speaker-for-the-dead:/var/local/update: ls -l /etc/athena/ssh*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          5 May 26 21:07 /etc/athena/sshd -> sshd1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other    1065924 May 17 09:58 /etc/athena/sshd1


mkserv didn't run:
***** Finishing update after reboot
Updating version
Running mkserv.
mkserv: Can't resolve name

I believe this is because it started the wrong named, because the
patch from source-reviewers 2287 has not been applied to the packs,
yet other named patches have.



Yo, got any documentation, or other info?

* I did this by changing the version in the last line of
/etc/athena/version to 8.2.-1, and running /srvd/update_ws.
