have you forgotten to create the directories for your cpu-server user?

"rc: can't open comes" usually when i try to login to a machine with user
bootes (i use the default username for cpu servers) on which I have
forgotten to create the user directory (/usr/bootes in my case) or forgotten
to run /sys/lib/newuser as per the documentation..

hope that helps...
