I believe that if you comment out the 'ttyflags -a' line in /etc/rc,
this problem will go away.

i'm not sure about the pty problems here, but i'd guess that the
'bash: no such file or directory' message is caused by you not having
a bash binary on your system.

>i assume bash means the shell..

bash is a shell, but not one of the standard system shells.
I'm not sure, but i'd expect that it's _not_ shipped with the
'standard' system binaries.  (If it is, then i've gotta talk to/at
some people...  8-)

a binary for it is probably available from somewhere, where
'somewhere' probably includes cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu.


I don't know why 'dt' requires bash, though.  Perhaps one of the Alice
folks will explain this.
