The HP is very very stupid.  If there is an "r" anywhewre in the shell
name then it gets treated as restricted.  For this reason, I have
	ln /bin/rc /bin/p9sh
and run p9sh as my login shell.

(Actually I threw out vuew altogether; my .vueprofile just
exec's my .xsession)

Yeah, I already got feedback about the 'r' from somewhat else.  Changing
the name of rc fixes the problem with 'man', but I still can't log into
VUE.  It just sits there for about 10 seconds with a blank screen and
kicks me back into the login. 

Any other suggestions?

P.S. Sorry about the old subject line--I was using an old piece of mail to 
get the e-mail address for the group, and I forgot to change the subject 
line.

Has anyone out there gotten rc 1.5 to work under HP-UX 9.05 under VUE 3.0? 
I got it to compile without too many problems, however if I log in through
VUE, it immediatly kicks me back out without even showing me the massive
copyright page. (side note: I realize that you aren't supposed to be able
to run VUE with anything other than /bin/sh, /bin/csh, or /bin/ksh,
however I am succesfully running it right now using /bin/bash--it
complains a little, but it lets me do it). 

I can log in from other machines via telnet, rsh, etc., however I have 
noticed that I do have problems performing some tasks.  For example, if I 
use man, I get: 'sh: exec: restricted'.

Any suggestions?
