No, what I am doing is
#define MAILBOX_TOP user
char *domain=MAILBOX_TOP
char *domainname=NULL;
split(&username,&domainname)
domain = domainname
So if the user logs in without the domain, I get domain = user, else I
get that domain.

It doesn't. Thats the point. Currently the disk structure enforces a
structure like user.username. I am changing this to domain.username
(Not a TLD, just the first part. So andrew.cmu.edu will require
user at andrew to login.)

I do plan to integrate this in later, but right now, I would like to
see all possible changes.
BTW, grep *is* is very good tool for this. I should have something up
in about an hour (all my changes commented out, but marked with a DVB).
Hopefully my code is commented well enough.
