If one boots in single user mode and enters the root password, a root
shell (/bin/sh) is started, which runs /etc/profile.
/etc/profile tries to run the following programs and fails because they're
broken symlinks due to lack of afs:
/bin/i386
/usr/sbin/quota
/bin/mail
Since the first is just a convoluted series of symlinks to /usr/bin/false,
it should probably be tracked local:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> ls -l /bin/i386
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 May 14 14:16 /bin/i386 -> /os/usr/bin/i386
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> ls -l /os/usr/bin/i386
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 11 Oct 18 1995 /os/usr/bin/i386 -> ../kvm/i386
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> ls -l /usr/kvm/i386
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 12 Jul 8 20:30 /usr/kvm/i386 -> ../bin/false
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> ls -l /usr/bin/false
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 314 Jul 16 1994 /usr/bin/false
The others should perhaps be bracketed in:
if [ -f <FILE> ] ; then
<FILE+ARGS>
fi
or something...
--jhawk
