Hi. I've just learned that the "Register for Account" option on
the xlogin fails under 8.2.
A quick look indicates this is an attach-and-run script trying to run
something called userreg in /afs/athena/system/register/ which lacks
sun4x_56 and sgi_62 entries in the arch directory.
There is an sgi_63 entry.
I'm not sure who normally updates this area, but at least jis, dkk,
jweiss, and mar are on the acl.
Thanks
mike
