In the last couple days:

1. using paths like ~6.055/www stopped working on linux.mit.edu.  But
   /mit/6.055/www works.

2. I also started seeing the problem about "permission denied errors
   trying to run dotfiles on login".  That one may be caused by recent
   Kerberos library changes on my (Debian unstable) laptop, and the
   answer at <http://web.mit.edu/linerva/www/> fixed it for me.

I see that linux.mit.edu now runs Debian lenny, so maybe problem 1 (and
possibly 2) are related to the OS upgrade?
