Sarah,

Once I saw the kinit name for me, I remembered my password and successfully
ran it.  I then retried my mksb and still get the same error.  There must be
either something basic I am doing wrong due to the infrequency of my ODE use,
or alpha is missing some stuff that permits mksb to know the paths of the
backing trees, or maybe both?

alpha.zk3.dec.com --> mksb -back goldos.2wk -dir /home/gibian/sandboxes/code >
User rc file, /home/gibian/.sandboxrc, does not exist; will create it.
>> WARNING in mksb:

d.
No default for sandbox directory and none entered.
Please enter the full path to the sandbox:
>> WARNING in mksb:

Thanks,
Marc

The syntax for mksb is as follows

mksb -back [backingtree name] -dir [path to sandboxes] [sandbox_name]

It looks like you typed:

mksb -back goldos.2wk -dir /home/gibian/sandboxes/code >>

Which would make the sandbox name ">>" which is bogus.  If you were trying
to capture error, you should do:

mksb -back goldos.2wk -dir /home/gibian/sandboxes/code my_sandbox >> cat.file.
