From: Camilla R Fox <cfox@MIT.EDU>

System name:		myxomycete.mit.edu
Type and version:	i586 9.0.9 (with mkserv)
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6a S3V

Shell:			/bin/athena/bash
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
  Login when my homedir isn't attached.

What's wrong:
  I get csh dotfiles in my tmphomedir, but no bash ones.

What should have happened:
  I should be given an add alias, inc aliased to inc -notruncate,
  etc.

  The situation for root is even weirder:

    bash-2.03$ su
    Password: 
    bash-2.04#
    bash-2.04# bash --version
    GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
    Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

  I can't find a copy of version 2.04 anywhere around.
