No, this is not correct.  /bin/pwd will return the true path.  The 'cd'
path (which may have followed symlinks) will be in environment variables:

In csh...

11:57 sls at bonnie% cd /proj/irix6.5/isms/irix
11:57 sls at bonnie% echo $cwd
/proj/irix6.5/isms/irix
11:57 sls at bonnie% /bin/pwd
/hosts/bonnie.engr/disks/xlv5/kudzu/irix_kudzu
11:58 sls at bonnie% 

Fortunately under irix autofs (as opposed to automount) does not have /tmp_mnt
embedded in the path.
