This looks really similar to what xlogin does, which I had to patch to
get to work properly (linux-afs was returning a weird devno for
directories in afs or somesuch). You should be able to copy
isremotedir() out of the xlogin sources...

Actually, I got it from the libAL sources, which is basically the same

I was wrong. It's not the same thing. In fact, the version of
isremotedir() in libAL does not work. The version in xlogin works.
(I think the libAL version will correctly determine an afs directory
that's mounted via the afsxnfs translator... :-)
So:
- I fixed the login sources in /mit/linux-athena/login/. It now uses
isremotedir() from xlogin. You should once again build yourself a
new /bin/login from these sources.
- I will fix libAL in /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena/AL after I send
this message.
Also:
- I fixed login so that it will now add your hesiod grouplist to
/etc/group, like xlogin does. This is not really related.
Have a nice day.
