So I know there are larger changes aimed for configfile handling in
8.3, but is the following a glitch of simpler nature?

If /etc/athena/inetd.conf is customized on an mkserv remote machine
(e.g., to deal with the HostExplorer bug), it doesn't seem to wind up
in /etc/athena/inetd.conf.old after the update.  Instead, the latter
looks to be an interim version from the update process:

athena% tail -4 /etc/athena/version
Athena Workstation (sun4) Version Update Wed Sep 30 17:00:09 EDT 1998
Athena Workstation (sun4) Version 8.2.12 Wed Sep 30 17:00:28 EDT 1998
Athena Server (sun4) Version Update Wed Sep 30 17:00:30 EDT 1998
Athena Server (sun4) Version 8.2.12 Wed Sep 30 17:01:16 EDT 1998

athena% ls -l /etc/athena/inetd.conf*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        1554 Sep 30 17:01 /etc/athena/inetd.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        1538 Sep 30 17:00 /etc/athena/inetd.conf.old

and the differences are just whether various of the tcp entries are
switched/unswitched, e.g.:

< telnet        stream  tcp     nowait  unswitched      root    /etc/athena/telnetd     telnetd -a cred
> telnet        stream  tcp     nowait  switched        root    /etc/athena/telnetd     telnetd -a cred
