Well, I got the answer to my problem from the Geometry Hotline. As
you may recall, whenever I tried to start the Workspace, I got a message
complaining that it could not connect to the File Access Manager.
It turns out that my YP server is not a SGI machine, it's a Sun. And
that machine does not have the necessary entries in /etc/rpc to make the
Workspace work. To fix the problem, add these lines to /etc/rpc on your
server:
sgi_toolkitbus 391001
sgi_fam 391002
Then cd to /var/yp on your server (probably /usr/etc/yp for pre-4.0 Suns)
and do a "make rpc". Reboot your SGI, and the Workspace will work!

Gee, Beaver, everything that's fun can get you in trouble. Haven't you
learned that yet? --Gilbert
