The Athena 8.1.15 patch release is scheduled to be deployed on Monday
night 1/19/1998 for both Solaris and IRIX.  It includes the following
changes:

	* klogind, kshd, and telnetd will obey a .k5login if it
	  exists.

	* SGIs will not warn root about having a .xsession file.

	* telnetd will warn users about unencrypted connections, just
	  like the dialups will.

	* attach no longer sets very low timeouts for NFS mounts.

	* lpd deals better with TCP resets if a job has already been
	  read.

	* Some entries were added to and updated in the Kerberos
	  configuration files.

	* The Athena startup file no longer nukes /usr/local on the
	  SGIs.

	* Suns will start up the AFS server properly (i.e. only once)
	  on machines configured that way.
