This is a reminder than Athena patch release 8.1.12 will go out
tonight. The changes are:
* aklog has been fixed to work on cells where the cell name is
the correct Kerberos realm and the AFS servers' domain name
is not. (This broke when Athena moved to CNS from the MIT
Kerberos source, and was only noticed recently.)
* The copy file limit has been removed from lpr so that large
files may be printed from standard input as well as from a
file.
* lpc has been fixed to handle signals properly on System V.
* A number of buffer overflows and security holes related to
malicious job names have been closed in lpd.
* Encrypted Kerberos 5 rcp requests to 8.1 machines work now,
after a fix to the CNS rcp.
* cleanup now removes logged out users from group lines.
* On Solaris, the system packs part of the 8.1 installation
now supports root disks other than c0t3d0.
* On Solaris, the libXext and libucb symlinks in /usr/lib were
fixed. This fix only affects machines which are installed
directly at 8.1, which isn't the normal practice yet.
* On Solaris, the network device is now not fixed at le0, but
is specified by a new NETDEV variable in
/etc/athena/rc.conf.
* On Solaris, the "mount at boot" option was removed for the
/usr filesystem, since it isn't necessary and causes a
spurious error message.
* On Solaris, some files in the os volume accidentally owned
by non-system uids were chowned to root.
* On Solaris, directories on the packs which correspond to
operating system directories (/usr, /etc, and so forth) have
had their mode bits changed to reflect the operating system
directory.
