I've tried to get a script running here (that has worked elsewhere) to use
with my .forward.  The .forward works fine ("| scriptname) but the shell
seems unable to get the working directory ("cannot getwd") and dies.  I've
ided that the script thinks it is running as me (records whoami as me).
How can I fix this?

Please respond by email, since I don't read this group real often.

Thank you.

The opinions above are mine.  If anyone else wants to share them, fine.
They may say so if they wish. The facts "belong" to noone and simply are.
