Hey all.

Having a bad brain day and can't seem to remember what causes the
following errors on a user's telnet login:

  shell-init: could not get current directory:
  job-working-directory: could not get current directory:
  <repeats several times with junk after each instance>

Errors recur with file access, but a few "cd"s will clear it up until next
login.

I thought it was a user directory permissions issue, but ownership & flags
seem fine; thought it might be /etc/passwd but that's fine too. I know
I've fixed it before but can't recall how.

Thanks much,
