From: Jon Crowcroft <J.Crowcroft@uk.ac.ucl.cs> we are considering running AMS on our clustersd of RS/6000s & PS/2s we've just bought.... motivation 1) consistent interface to bboards & e-mail 2) multi-media 3) nice interface (ez/messages + low end support) however, a) has anyone done this on this base? we'd like any input on building b) we are running a (local version of) sendmail system for local and external delivery - will this be problematic? (for instance, we want all outgoing mail to either be resigned user@site or have the from field be user@site in the first place, or at least have a reply-to: field with user@site, we dont want internal topology to be externally known, but it can be internally, e.g. user@department...) c) we are (at least at first) running NFS fielsystems, not AFS - what does this lose us? last & least d) a small prob at the moment - we built atk in the obvious way and it all works okay modulo runti9me warnings about class lib not being found in succesively longer pathnamed directories...what causes this? thanks for any input... jon

A bug in class that shows up when optimization is on. This has been rectified and will be in the next patch.
