The main file that defines data areas is DADEVS.LIST in the same area
as NETSP.  The NETSP is just for timdest limits and any limits on
allowed users.

One problem with the 2nd data area listed above is that it does not
include the host name - which I assume is STELLAR.  The startup script
looks for only those data areas that have the host name in them so
that the very many hosts at places like NRAO do not attempt to mount
the very very many data areas we have to list.
