`Sam Hartman' changed the state to `closed'.
State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: hartmans
State-Changed-When: Thu Feb 27 21:45:10 1997
State-Changed-Why:
Fixed; the fix should be included in the 1.0 patch release as Athena needs it.
I do not like this particular fix as it doesn't warn the user
that / has been used as a home directory. However, there is no good
way to easily do this from the parent process without violating
abstraction barriers. You can print a fatal message to the client,
but not really a warning. That, or I misread the code.
