We have nedit on HP-UX 10.20.

One user changes to a subdir and runs nedit like this:

cd /home/james/block17/data
nedit file1

Everything is fine. This user's home dir is sourced from another HP-UX server.

User #2 has a home directory sourced from a Linux NAS device. When he does "cd /home/bob/blk17/data1" and does "nedit file3" the error is the following:

Error: Cannot open /bob/blk17/data1/file3 File does not exist. The system drops the /home part of the path.

If Bob types the full path i.e. "nedit /home/bob/blk17/data1/file3" all is well.

Strange. Anyone see this kind of thing before?
