Hi, We access a GUI tape backup program on a SGI server through X11 and xterm. Suddenly, on 2 machines out a 12, when a network user tries to launch X11 they get this error in the xterm window: "shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied" This prevents them from starting a session on the SGI server to access the tape program. The GUI will not open on their display. If logged in as a local user on the machine it runs fine. Thanks, Rich -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
