Here is a scenario may make a NeXT system admin sleepless:
Suppose you have a couple of diskless nodes booting over a couple
disked nodes. An average user JoJo walks in and works on a disked node
for a while and decides to leave. Since the power of the NeXT can be
turned off from the keyboard and JoJo has a habit to turn off a
{personal} computer after logoff (he believes this will extend the
life of the monitor). Guess what happen to the diskless Next(s)
booting from this node?bob@allosaur.cis.ohio-state.edu (Bob Sutterfield) (10/28/88)

[and turns it off] [Almost] All our file servers are stashed away in locked machine rooms, far away from users' prying fingers. I offer the "almost" qualifier because we have two that are constrained for the expected reasons (politics, cost, fiber avaliability) to share a room with a labful of users. This is a remote site and an exception, though. -=- Zippy sez, --Bob I wish I was on a Cincinnati street corner holding a clean dog!
