[Info-vax] strange cluster behaviour: 2

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

When setting up new satellites, I get the standard message that global 
sections is too low for DECwindows to start, and get asked whether 
AUTOGEN should be run to correct it.  If I say yes, it doesn't get 
corrected, i.e. after the automatic reboot the same message comes again 
and would do so forever if I didn't correct it by hand.  There is no 
change made to MODPARAMS.DAT after the initial creation when setting up 
the satellite.

If I add a line to MODPARAMS.DAT for the correct value of GBLSECTIONS, 
then of course it works. 

Why is this automatic correction not working?
