I want to point out the debathena tcsh (and possibly bash) do not behave
the same as Athena tcsh and bash do. In particular, debathena-tcsh does
not support the ~~ syntax for accessing lockers. For example:
athena% ls -ld ~~freeculture
drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 2048 Dec 14 20:48 /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/freeculture/
athena% ls -ld ~freeculture
drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 2048 Dec 14 20:48 /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/freeculture/
debathena% ls -ld ~~freeculture
Unknown user: ~freeculture.
debathena% ls -ld ~freeculture
drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 2048 2007-12-14 20:48 /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/freeculture/
This is particularly important when local users mask lockers; debathena
provides no way to access the locker (short of using /mit/lockername). I
also suspect there are people who are trained to use ~~.
