[comp.sys.next] Curious Logout Diagnostic

anderson@macc.wisc.edu (Jess Anderson) (02/12/91)

As I am sometimes in a bit of a dither, I'm not sure I
posted this, though I thought I did.  Having seen no answers
(though one possibly related question), I'm assuming no one
knows or (I hope) no one noticed.  So I'll try again.  Sorry
if it's a repeat.

I see something odd in /usr/adm/messages.  Logging out
seems to put these two lines in there.  The first one I 
guess is expected.  But the second one looks like something
not right, maybe a glitch in netinfo or the way I set myself
up?

I get one of these for every logout.  I watched the time 
carefully, and these messages are associated with logging 
out, not with the subsequent logging in.  This is an ordinary
user (not root), running in group other, $HOME is /Users/<name>,
shell is /bin/csh.

Feb  8 13:34:12 yak -[134]: loginwindow: Workspace exited ts 0 cd 0 rc 0 sv 0 ss 0.
Feb  8 13:34:13 yak -[134]: loginwindow: netinfo problem - No such directory

This doesn't seem to affect anything, as far as I can tell,
but one should not get a diagnostic for no reason.  Does anyone
know what's going on here?

I do not know what causes that one,  however the one below is
benign according to Alan Marcum at NeXT when I asked about it.
Netinfo is missing a /keyboard directory, not to worry.
