I have multiple personalities. I equate machine with user because when
I go to a different machine I use a different user id. I might be
running as many as four machines. Each machine has a postit note with
the machine name, user id and password on the front. Machine and user
are unique, the password is common to all.

I keep coming back to one point that I think is significant. The
failure mode is inline. All the machines are connected, files have been
transferred, and then one machine stops being able to access the others.

The only fix I know is reboot and log-on. Log-on is an object on the
Warp center, hence log-on is consistent.
