Hmmmm.... well, it didn't start up for me, and I waited a while.  Anyway,
pfinet died later on after about 6 rlogin sessions.  The next day, I
restarted pfinet (by simply pinging _from_ the machine).  However, rlogin
didn't work (after a long wait, I got "connection refused" with
nothing mentioned in the logs).  I thought maybe inetd needed to be
restarted since pfinet had been restarted.  Anyway, I did that, and then
trying to rlogin into the machine produced a host of messages saying:

(default pager): dropping data_request because of prvious paging errors

Also note, that I don't have swap enabled at this time.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know what all was happening.  Tell me if
these kind of reports are helpful or annoying, or what could make them
more helpful or less annoying.
