Hi,
In testing on dale this morning, the "Register for an Account"
button still doesn't work. I can't tell if we were supposed
to wait, or if it should be working now.
Poking into it, the "register" button on the xlogin screen calls
/afs/athena/system/register/xregister
...which is a shell script that checks `machtype -S` and enters
a shell case statement. The case statement accepts a fixed list
of sysnames, and the list does not include sun4x_510, and the
default "*" branch of the case statement gets called, which puts
up the "noregister" error message.
Stripping out irrelevant code, the logic goes like:
sgi_65)
sun4x_56|sun4x_57|sun4x_58|sun4x_59|i386_linux22)
i386_linux24|i386_rh9|i386_rhel3)
do_stuff ;;
*)
xterm -exec /mit/register/noregister ; exit ;;
It looks like one fix would be to include the new sun4x_510
sysname into the case statement, but I haven't yet tested this:
