In my .environment file I "add mitdir" and in my .startup.X file i
have the line:

xmitdir -fg black -bg LightSkyBlue &

My SPARCstation mozart updated to 8.3 since I last logged in, and
now I can't start up the xmitdir program:

08:15 xmitdir: Command not found.
08:15 [7] 3037
08:15 [7]    Exit 1                        xmitdir -fg black -bg LightSkyBlue

In the previous release I used to get a warning that the structure
of the mitdir locker wasn't correct (no arch subdirectory?) , and
this new release problem considers that a fatal warning.  

The program does start if I type 

[mitdir] athena%sun4bin/xmitdir -fg black -bg LightSkyBlue

The people who have bits in this locker are:

[mitdir] athena%fs la
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  system:gnetwork rl
  system:anyuser rl
  jis rlidwka
  tom rlidwka
  hoffmann rlidwka
  wade rlidwka
  mbarker rlidwk

One of the above should probably be asked to fix this so that the
locker conforms to the current convention.
