1. Mail transition plan (see release-77 [2941])

There were no serious issues raised.

There was some discussion of pine, in that the consultants are getting
a lot of questions about it, and are concerned that the default pine
behavior is to immediately suck down all your mail into your homedir
in the pine-native format where you can't easily get to it from MH.
They may be recommending pine-imap instead.

2. Local accounts

A user raised an issue about being able to log into a local account
using the matching Kerberos principal.  The solution is to create a
.k5login file which doesn't list the principal.

3. 9.0.17

Dev cell today, hopefully.  Athena cell in 1.5 weeks.

4. Bugs

Some GX150s provide a 16-bit visual by default, and some don't.  None
of them ought to.  Andrew will look into this.

/tmp seems to have migrated to / on Suns (which is only a problem on
the ones with separate /usr and /var partitions, but that is most of
them).  Greg will look into this.
