I thought I would ask the net before diving into the code of rn about this
first.

Standard distribution tapes on AT&T V.3 machines with more than 1 drive
sets up the user file system on the second drive with root, swap, etc on
the first drive.

It seems that in the file util.c getwd only works for root on the root 
partition (drive 1) without getting the error "getwd:  read error in ..".
If run as root from the second drive as root you get the same error and
if run as any user on the system (that doesn't have uid=0) the same error
also results.

Has anyone already solved this problem??  We are running on AT&T 3B2 600's,
700's and a 4000.

Thanks in advance for any help.
