System name:		hodge
Type and version:	KN01 7.4G (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	save a file in /mit/yandros/project/VaporWare/crono:

hodge% fs la
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  yandros:friends rlidwk
  system:anyuser rl
  yandros rlidwkaABCDEFGH
  shabby rlidwka

hodge% fs whichcell
File . lives in cell 'sipb.mit.edu'

hodge% tokens

        [  3]   --End of list--

hodge% ls -la
total 13
...
-rw-rw-r--  1 yandros      1575 Oct 12 18:14 design.fig
...

What's wrong:
	XFig gave "access denied".  After running:
chmod a+w design.fig
	it let me save the file.

What should have happened:
	It should not have explicitly checked the mode bits.  This is
bone-headed...  It should have let me save the file.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
