1) 8.3 bugs (and who will fix)

   rcp with only krb4 tickets fails (ghudson)
   larvnet gets bad data (xlogin problem?) (ghudson)
   xscreensaver vs dvorak logout problem (danw)
   larvnetd might not deal with LPRng print servers (danw)
   xmore buttons
   xss crashes sometimes on multi-head machines
   Account Registration applet vs Irix 6.5 [not our problem] (jis)
   sendmail.st (ghudson)
   /var modes (ghudson)
   lprm -A (danw)

None of us use multi-headed machines and there are none in the field,
so the xss bug is not likely to get fixed any time soon.


2) Acrobat

Irix ships its own version of acrobat, which has some different
defaults from infoagents's.

We have no need for it, and we don't have it on the packs for Solaris,
so Bob will make it go away.


3) Zone machines

Most (many? some?) Watchmakers aren't running 8.3. Greg suggests we
should move any public Zone machines to early and send mail to their
maintainers suggesting they should ask to be in the beta cluster.


4) Mailing lists

Karl is trying to untangle the mess of release/dev-related mailing
lists. 

   1. make the afsdev acls be moira lists rather than pts groups owned
      by builder
   2. make all Athena bugs lists owned by bugs-acl
   3. make lots of other Athena lists owned by source-acl
   4. get rid of some completely crufty lists (like "quality") once
      all the things that include/are owned by them get updated

Some other stuff. It all sounded good.
