I can't really reproduce it now since the E parition of Ronald Anne is working (knock on wood). Maybe you can provide some input on this problem. Thanks a lot! --Michael L Barrow mlbarrow@athena.mit.edu o MIT Information Systems/Information Services MCR Consultant o Project Athena Volunteer User Consultant o Member, Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) o Oh, yeah.....I'm a student too!

It's hard to debug this w/o being able to reproduce this, but one workaround might be to just do a quick control-p login as root, attach your nfs directory, and then logout out and log back in as yourself; I believe that shoudl work. I don't know the login code well enough to know definitely if this is a bug or not right off the top of my head- If it's this reproducable, though, you should consider sending in a bug report- it certainly isn't doing what it's supposed to. -Lucien ------- End of Forwarded Message
