My workstation has been updated to 7.2N.  I logged out this morning and then
immediately tried to log in again.  The following appeared in the console window:

	Running standard startup
	install-mh: invocation error
	msgchk: [install-mh aborted]
	zwgc: Connection timed out while setting location
	zwgc: error while opening /mit/nschmidt/.zephyr.subs for reading:
		Permission denied
	zwgc: error while opening /mit/nschmidt/.zephyr.descs for reading:
		Permission denied

When my xterm appeared, I did ls -al and found that almost all of my files had
Permission denied.  I appeared to have no tokens and could not even do a comp to
send you mail.  I have logged in on a 7.2L workstation to send this message.  

I tried logging in without my default customizations and also as a terminal
window (or whatever the simplest login is called).  None worked.
