We use the automounter under SunOS.  A filesystem such as /home/foo
is mounted on /tmp_/mnt/home/foo.  This can cause trouble, since
typically a user with ^X^F a file by typing /home/foo as the
pathname, though at times /tmp_mnt can get appended to the name.

Has anyone come up with a way to remove the /tmp_mnt from all
interactive pathname prompts?
