A couple of miscellaneous SGI things I've found:

The link /usr/athena/bin/tellme is dead.

listmaint can't be found:

~ athena% listmaint
attachandrun: failure to exec listmaint: No such file or directory

infosearch is broken- when I type "infosearch", it looks like netscape is
trying to launch on URL http://techpubs.sgi.com/infosearch/, but 
initialization does not complete- the main body of the Netscape window
is a large grey area, although this URL is visible in the URL area at the
top. On an O2 (but not Indy) this hung the machine and I had to reboot.

When I manually launch Netscape and enter this URL, things work normally.
