Apparently-To: bugs
logout didn't log me out!
[Leo:~/motifdev/src/ONE/lib/Xm]<djf:ttyp1> 5:54pm
64% logout
getwd: can't open ..
(Did you su in a fascist directory?)
logout is aliased to a csh script, end_session. Csh can't
start up if invoked in an unreadable directory. AFS directorys
can become unreadable when tokens expire. A borne shell script
would probably solve this problem.
mar points out in addition that with a csh script, we run the risk of
not having enough swap space to start the logout program.
solution: rewrite end_session in C or in sh.
I have a early version of end_session written in C, if
anyone is interested.
