I should add that these scripts are to be run, but not installed by
end users. They are based on versions I wrote for our university's
network-based TL installation. It was only intended as a suggestion how
to help out these particular users without a reinstallation of TL.

people who also got themselves tangled up between admin mode and
user mode.
