Hello everyone -

     I have a small question. I have recently set up AUX 2.0 to use my
SyQuest drive. In reading through the AUX manuals, it says that I should
use newfs to create the file system, because that is what AUX prefers.
Fine, that's what I did. 

     I created a directory "users1" where it is currently being mounted.
As root, I have no problems accessing it and using it. As anyone else, I
have a problem with "pwd". It gives me an error saying it can't open.
The exact error is "pwd: getwd: can't open". In checking the man pages
for pwd, it says that an error of "can not open" means that there is
probably something wrong with the file system, but when chacked with
fsck, I get no errors or problems. I'm a little stumped here, as I would
like, as a normal user, to see what directory I'm working in. Any
suggestions?

     On a second note, I've read in the past that people have been able
to use telecom programs from with in AUX (such as Applelink). I
unfortunately have had no luck. AUX always seems to say that the port
that the modem is on is busy. I've checked /etc/inittab and both the
modem and the printer ports are off. Any help with that would be
appreciated too.
