A while ago, netscape managed to rewrite its default preferences over
my own (I ran it without tokens and then renewed my tokens... perhaps
there's something to be done about this, but it's a secondary
problem). As part of this, my cache directory was set to be in my
homedir. So when I start netscape, I get the message from this part
of the script:
echo "To correct, this situation, quit Netscape, and then run"
echo " add infoagents"
echo " netscape-fix"
echo " cd"
echo " rm -rf .netscape/cache"
But when I run netscape-fix, it does not actually change my cache
directory or otherwise fix the problem.
I don't speak for ASO, of course, but having netscape caches in AFS
places a relatively serious load on the infrastructure, so I think
solving this problem is a relatively high priority.
