One XO-1.5 successfully registered back on Saturday.  It successfully 
then pushed 36MB to the XS' /library/users/SHC03801C2E (after running 
/usr/bin/ds-backup.sh on the XO-1.5 and waiting ~30min).  So we went 
home Saturday night with a false sense of confidence!

But no XO-1.5s will fully register today (all ~50 of the school's XOs 
are XO-1.5s).
Clearly, Jamaica's change from XS 0.6 to XS 0.7 two months ago destroyed 
reliable registration?

Frustrating as all XO-1.5s do connect to XS, whose /library/users become 
populated with each XO's serial number, when they 1st attempt to 
register.  EG. directory /library/users/SHC03801C18 on XS is just 1 of 
many examples of an XO-1.5 "incompletely" registering -- all similar 
directories contain:

     .bash_logout
     .bash_profile
     .bashrc
     .ssh

Is it normal that XO-1.5s can ping the schoolserver in these 3 ways:

     ping 18.172.0.1
     ping schoolserver    (responds as 18.172.196.1)
     ping schoolserver.providence.uwimona.edu.jm    (responds as 
18.172.196.1)

But yet CANNOT ping the schoolserver's eth0 IP address:

     ping 18.172.196.1    (its "inet addr" according to "ifconfig etho" 
anyway)

If it matters, a failng-to-register XO-1.5's /etc/resolv.conf reads as 
follows:

     # Generated by NetworkManager
     domain providence.uwimona.edu.jm
     search providence.uwimona.edu.jm localdomain
     nameserver 172.18.196.1

What should I be trying?? :)
