Dear Managers,
I only received one reply:
"Hummers, Rick (Frederick)" <hummers_at_cabletron.com>
Rick's message indicated that he had a similar problem, with
his whole windowing system failing if access was made to the affected
filesystems. His problem was with the mount points, which he deleted
in single-user mode and (I assume) recreated.
I'm only having the problem with File Manager and App Manager;
if /usr/users were bad I should be getting complaints left, right, and
center since that's where user home directories are. Nor is my
windowing system crashing. So I am still considering the question
open.

Dear Managers,
We're running v4.0Dp4 on DEC 3000's. On some of our machines,
the CDE file manager starts but then aborts with a complaint that the
user's home directory is "invalid". On other machines, File Manager
has no problem. The same user will have File Manager succeed on one
machine and fail on another. App Manager is also exhibiting this
behavior.
In the archives, this question was posed in 1997, but no summary
seems to have been posted.
We've looked at the /etc/dt, /usr/var/dt, /var/dt/tmp, and
/var/dt/appconfig directories without seeing anything different apart
from obvious things like hostnames and generated filenames. /var is a
separate AdvFS filesystem on all the machines.
