IDL and NIS - cd? [message #2160]

Hi IDL-folks,

we are running IDL 3.5.1 on an IBM RS6k/530h under AIX 3.2.5. Recently, we have installed yellow pages/NIS on our workstation cluster. All users now have their home-directory on only one workstation, which may be not the workstation running IDL. However, IDL seems to have a problem when the directory from which it is launched is only mounted by NIS(automount):

Giving the command: "cd, current=test" comes back with the error message:
"% Unable to get working directory." This prevents execution of utilities like "pickfile". This only occurs when the keyword current is given.

Has anybody encountered this difficulty? Is this due to the symbolic links in the file system hirarchy across the network? Are there workarounds?

Please, mail your replys to kienlin@physik.uni-wuerzburg.de

Thanks and cheers,
Markus
