To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 90 18:14:34 EST
From: MJBauer <mjbauer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> <mjbauer>
System name:		test-3100
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 6.4R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
Log in with my own dotfiles in standard 6.3B Athena format.

What's wrong:
mwm did not start, nor did any other window manager.
Of five xterms that I usually start, only three of them appeared.  The other
two failed, with the error:  /usr/bin/X/xterm: Permission denied.
Zephyr failed, with the error:  /usr/etc/zwgc: Permission denied.

What should have happened:
Everything that did not start should have.  (mwm, two xterms, zephyr)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
(none)

Comments:  I am leaving my dotfiles world-readable so that whoever gets this
bug can read them.  I can find no problem with them.

Thanks
