[Re]Starting the Webster Server

Verify that the symlink from /mit/dictionary exists and points to /afs/athena/project/webster.
Obtain root on the server.
Restart portmap by killing it and running /etc/portmap. This should cause websterd, the webster server daemon, to restart itself automagically. If it doesn't, find a wizard.

Where did the dictionary come from? There are legends about this, but some one should know for sure. Note that it is not freely releasable.
