   81: Files ending in \texttt{.db} are GDBM files, files ending in \texttt{.hist}
   82: are logs of entries to these files. Filenames starting with \texttt{nohist}
   83: do not keep history files. \texttt{passwd} stores the login mechanism
   84: and password (if applicable).
   85: 
   86: \texttt{environment} stores name-value pairs that are automatically
   87: added to the session environment at login time, for example the full
   88: name, etc.
   89: 
   90: \texttt{roles} stores the user's roles.
   91: 
   92: \texttt{critical}, \texttt{nohist\_email}, and \texttt{email\_status}
   93: are used by the messaging mechanisms
   94: 
   95: Files with a course-ID as name, for example \texttt{msu\_12679c3ed543a25msul1.db},
   96: store performance data for that student in the course, as stored by
   97: \texttt{store} and \texttt{restore} in \texttt{lonnet}.
   98: 
   99: Other files are caches, for example for previously calculated spreadsheets,
  100: etc.
