When mkserv is run, it makes a sym-link farm for /usr/etc in
/site/server/usr/etc.

It points credentials, credentials.dir and credentials.pag at
/urvd/root/usr/etc

When the workstation is activated, those files on /urvd point at /site/usr/etc.

When the workstation is not activated, NFS will not find the credentials files.

BUG!

Please change the mkserv script so that mkserv NFS (and anything else
that requires credentials) makes a sym-link directly to /site/usr/etc.
