Problem: invoking answerbook causes a tight loop, doing xhosts.
Solution: /usr/athena/bin/answerbook (a script) needs to be modified.
Some alternatives
1. hardcode the path -- the final line should read
/usr/openwin/bin/answerbook &
2. use different names to avoid naming conflicts
Proposed: I would probably go ahead and hardcode the path, but there
might be a better solution.
athena% where answerbook
/usr/athena/bin/answerbook
/usr/openwin/bin/answerbook
athena% more /usr/athena/bin/answerbook
#!/bin/athena/tcsh
set AB_CARDCATALOG=/opt/SUNWabe/ab_cardcatalog
xhost `hostname`
