| Wrong. Dangerously wrong. If you tried building some non-sun library

| library, the resolver library, and the r-commands.
The kerberos versions of the r-cmds seem to work ok (and, apropos the
origin of this thread, they address the authentication issue in a
better way). Anyone know if Perry's comments pertain to them?
