[Glass] problem with stone log and permissions :(

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Okay, there are several things going on here ... first off, we don't
recommend that you have GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL set in your startstone environment
... in 3.1.0.6 GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL is not consistently applied and in 3.2.3
and beyond the GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL will be ignored by the startstone command.
We recommend that you use `-l` to set the log location for the stone, as
you are doing...

The GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL isn't directly involved, but it does tend to confuse
things ...

We haven't reproduced your problem here, but we believe that the problem is
related to the fact that when you use `su username` the "current
environment is passed to the new shell" and startstone is probably cd'ing
to $HOME which is /home/marianopeck/.

You should try using `su --login username` as the environment for the new
shell is "similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in
directly" and startstone will cd to the $HOME for `username`.

Let's see how that works...
