Starting netscape on a sun4x_58 machine gives the error:
df: Could not find mount point for /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/z/a/zacheiss
This is apparently the result of a behavior change in df between Solaris
7 and Solaris 8:
[zacheiss@sweet-transvestite] ~$ fs sysname
Current sysname is 'sun4x_57'
[zacheiss@sweet-transvestite] ~$ df $HOME
/afs (AFS ):18000000 blocks 9000000 files
[zacheiss@brad-majors] ~$ fs sysname
Current sysname is 'sun4x_58'
[zacheiss@brad-majors] ~$ df $HOME
df: Could not find mount point for /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/z/a/zacheiss
The netscape wrapper script should be rewritten to use some other
way of testing if the user's homedir is in AFS.
