Hi! I've known about this for about a year, and thought that it had
been reported, but Ezra said I should send it in now.
System name: mickey-mouse
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.3H
Display type: SM
A lot of people who use mkserv remote have /etc/nocreate to restrict
access to the machine. However, if you have that, then the /etc/group
file on the workstation doesn't get updated. You can get around it by
getting rid of /etc/nocreate, logging in, and copying /etc/group to
/etc/group.local, but it would be nice if you didn't have to do that.
Thanks,
Carla
