(Sorry for such a late reminder.)

The Athena 8.3.16 patch release is scheduled for tonight.  Changes
include:

	* Sun patch 105722-03 was introduced to fix ufsdump and
	  ufsrestore.

	* Sun patch 105633-26 was introduced (an X server upgrade).

	* A bug in DHCP support (on the Solaris port) has been fixed.

	* xss-button will be quieter.

	* Some logging has been added to the Athena inetd to help
	  track down a bug.

	* ftpd will log "password required" at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERR.

	* The update script now identifies Cluster Services such, and
	  not as Hotline.

	* A typo was fixed in the Athena startup scripts related to
	  sshd options.  (No visible effect.)

	* There are some more fixes to bashrc and bash_login.

	* There is an athinfod query to get the update log, for public
	  workstations only.

	* lpr won't retry on every possible source port if it gets an
	  ECONNREFUSED error.

	* liblocker (used by attach and quota) will block ^Z while
	  holding the attachtab lock.

	* There is a fix to liblocker's path canonicalization routine
	  so that it won't double-free memory.

	* The dvips file ad.enc is installed, a necessity for some
	  dvi files.

Please send questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
