System name:		d-128-95-67-181.dhcp.washington.edu (detraction.mit.edu)
Type and version:	i586 8.4.10
Display type:		

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh (/usr/local/bin/sipbtcsh?)
Window manager:		/usr/local/bin/vtwm.gamma

What were you trying to do?
	use local-netscape to bring netscape local

What's wrong:
	if it is run from a machine not on MITnet and without tokens
	it brings enough stuff local that /usr/athena/bin/netscape
	tries to use the local version, but you then get the error:

	Netscape 4.61 is unavailable on this Linux workstation.

bash# /etc/athena/local-netscape
Can't read directory /mit/infoagents/arch/i386_linux22/MIT-only: Permission denied
The update of /var/athena/infoagents/arch/i386_linux22/MIT-only from /mit/infoagents/arch/i386_linux22/MIT-only aborted prematurely.
Can't read directory /mit/infoagents/share/Netscape/4.05/RCS: Permission denied
The update of /var/athena/infoagents/share/Netscape/4.05/RCS from /mit/infoagents/share/Netscape/4.05/RCS aborted prematurely.
bash# 


What should have happened:
	it should have either succeeded or failed.
