System name:		the-other-woman
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Figure out whether AFS commands were in /bin/athena or not.

What's wrong:
	IT seems to be pretty random

the-other-woman#  ls -l /srvd/bin/athena/{vos,bos,newpag,fs,pts,klog}
/srvd/bin/athena/newpag: No such file or directory
lrwxr-xr-x   1 65536    other         47 Jul 20 09:10 /srvd/bin/athena/bos -> /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/afsuser/@sys/bin/bos
-rwxrwxr-x   1 root     other     310708 Jun 23 10:48 /srvd/bin/athena/fs
lrwxr-xr-x   1 65536    other         48 Jul 20 09:10 /srvd/bin/athena/klog -> /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/afsuser/@sys/bin/klog
lrwxr-xr-x   1 19558    other         47 Jul 20 09:44 /srvd/bin/athena/pts -> /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/afsuser/@sys/bin/pts
lrwxr-xr-x   1 65536    other         47 Jul 20 09:10 /srvd/bin/athena/vos -> /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/afsuser/@sys/bin/vos

What should have happened:
	Consistancy is a good thing:

Either
1) put the binaries in /bin/athena (eg. fs)
or 
2) symlink them to the afsuser locker (eg. vos)
or
3) drop them all together (eg. newpag)
or
4) tell me why none of these is a viable option

BTW: I vote for #2.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Oh, this also affects the DECstation, and probably the RS6K.
