What were you trying to do?
See if athdir's compatibility mode still worked on Linux
What's wrong:
It doesn't.
how-about-a-nice-game-of-chess:~%athdir -t bin -p /mit/joeuser -l
/mit/joeuser/arch/i386_rhel4/bin
[snip]
/mit/joeuser/i386_linux1/bin
/mit/joeuser/%mbin
What should have happened:
The last entry should be "/mit/joeuser/linuxbin". This works fine
on Sun:
gaston:~%athdir -t bin -l -p /mit/joeuser -m linux
/mit/joeuser/arch/sun4x_510/bin
[snip]
/mit/joeuser/sun4m_412/bin
/mit/joeuser/sun4bin
We probably don't care, if it's been broken for this long. And this
probably means we can desupport it in Debathena.
