To': 1100users@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA'
'
We received Fugue.6 recently, and discovered a minor bug in LOGIN.'
If there was no NETWORKOSTYPES entry for a host in our environment,'
LOGIN insisted on appending ".pa" onto usernames.  Creating a'
NETWORKOSTYPES entry for a machine whose value was TOPS-20 or VMS'
solved the problem.'

'
I think the problem is that you are setting DEFAULTREGISTRY to PA in one of your init files. '
'
Login appends a registry only if DEFAULTREGISTRY is non-NIL. (This is a feature only of use to internal Xerox users.) '
'
The value of DEFAULTREGISTRY should be NIL in the standard sysout. '
'
There were some versions of our local init file distributed as ''examples'' of what a site-dependent initialization file might look like. In that file, we set DEFAULTREGISTRY to PA. '
'
Maybe that line got into your SDRC init?'
'
If I''m right, you mmight want to send a clarification to 1100Users.'

'
During the loadup process, a number of site-dependent variables have to'
be set for the loadup of the system to proceed (locations of files and'
directories.)'
'
Part of the loadup process is then to ''put back'' those variables which'
got set merely for the duration of creating the sysout. DEFAULTREGISTRY'
apparently got forgotten.'

'
most of the patchups to put sysouts back in clean state are in the function ENDLOADUP on APUTDQ. That''s where setting DEFAULTREGISTRY should be, too.'

(and maybe resetting LISPXHISTORY)'

Thanks.  A crucial piece of info unknown to me.  It''s time I spent more time learning the correct procedure for doing loadups.'
'
(JonL has updated ENDLOADUP to set DEFAULTREGISTRY to NIL.)'
