	This looks really similar to what xlogin does, which I had to patch to

Actually, I got it from the libAL sources, which is basically the same
thing.  I did this about 20 to 30 seconds after realizing that I
accidentally left isremotedir() empty in login.c.

Sorry, I thought it was more clear from my previous message.  I found
_and fixed_ the problem.  The source in /mit/linux-athena/login is
fixed, with regard to this bug.

Have a nice day.
