Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.0D
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Log in.

What's wrong:
	As soon as I started loggin in, the console popped up, saying my
AFS tokens had expired.
	xlogin then complained that 'attach failed, perhaps your
fileserver is down?' I aborted and tried again; same problem.  Due to
configuration, I was not allowed to get a temporary home directory.
	I then logged in as root (via xlogin), su'ed to my userid, and
did an unlog; this cleared up the problem and I was able to log in normally.

What should have happened:
	The attach should have worked fine, even with expired tokens
floating around.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	attach(1), xlogin(8)
