[HECnet] Area Request

[Brian Hechinger]

That brings back some memories (the color thing).

When I was at PSU many moons ago one of the places I worked was the "Crayola Lab" which was a lab full of DECstations running Ultrix.

Each machine was named after a color (crayon) and the xdm login screen background was set to that color.

It was a neat room when no one was there and all the systems were at their login screens.

I wish I still had a picture of that.

Area 32 used to be reserved for the "event" area.   Those nodes have been
moved to area 13 to pay homage to DECUS.   DECUS used area 13 for all
machines.   All of the nodes in area 13 are named after colors - just
like it was done at DECUS.   Area 13 is no longer reserved for DECservers
- they are now part of each of our individual networks.

Yeah, Cory wants Area IV.

Okay.   I got him connected now.
Excellent.

It seems there are already nodes defined for area 32.   Was it
previously
assigned to someone?
Uh? I don't have any nodes in area 32. Where did you get those?

Also,   Please set 32.1 to "FDR", Johnny!
Done.
