- We're having an interesting and annoying problem with our iris 4d/35,
- irix 4.04. Twice in the past week system.glgammaval in the /etc/config
- directory has become corrupted with the result that no one can log
- into the console (user logs in, but gets bumped out before any windows
- come up, no info in the /usr/adm/SYSLOG file), and that pandora doesn't
- come up, but instead we get the login screen that one gets when one
- sets noiconlogin to TRUE. Both times this has happened, a user has
- been doing some development work involving BIOSYM's open interface
- and INSIGHTII software packages; this of course is quite a large
- image for our 16 Meg 4d/35G system, but the application running
- may simply be coincidental and have nothing to do with the problem.
-
- So, the question is--have any other users experienced similar
- problems on their SGI systems, what caused the problem and is
- there a workaround; I thought I'd check the collective net.wisdom
- before we logged a call to the TAC.

- Thanks
