[comp.sys.apollo] Tilda problems

obrennan@CC3.CC.UMR.EDU (obrennan) (08/17/90)

	I have two Apollo rings, one ring runs 9.7 aegis only.
	The other ring is mixed 9.7 and 10.1 domain/ix .
	The first ring will not use tilda correctly.
	
	Tilda will work for the user logged in but,
	if your logged in and try "wd ~username" (other then yours),
	you get 'name not found (os/ naming server)'.
	Yet on the other ring this works.
	
	I have checked both edaccts databases and they show
	home directory set to /user/username.
	
	Why is tilda only half working on the first ring?

Part of the transition to SR10 required that paths using the tilda
character be suffixed with a "/". So on the SR10 nodes you will need
to specify the path as ~/...
