causes all changes that have made to be written
out to the accounting files.
All checkpoint files will deleted as the real accounting
files are written.
#ifdef DOFILES
Also any other filesystem work such as creating, removing,
and renaming user directories is done at this time.
An important thing to remember is that mcp creates home directories
with group ownership corresponding to the base gid of user ONLY if
that gid maps to a vig; otherwise the gid of the directory is set to 0.
# ifdef sun

Client machines will by necessity use remote commands to accomplish this
since user directories are usually in a filesystem mounted on a directory on
the fileserver.
# endif
If errors occur, mcp will put the particular change back  on
the job queue to be tried again on the next
.ul
save-changes.
Thus if things go wronmg during a \fIsave-and-exit\fR
you will be notified and asked to confirm that you wish to leave while there
are still outstanding changes.

(Note: Errors on remote commands are difficult to detect since no exit
status is returned.  However if the command generate error messages, these
will be passed to you.  Mcp will behave as if the command succeeded.)
