	I was originally going to put a script in /usr/athena/bin for ez
whining at people, but doing so would cause people to need to "add -f
andrew" to get it in their path in front of /usr/athena/bin/ez, which is
just a disaster waiting to happen.   We could make the script complain
to the user and start ez anyway, getting around that problem, but I'm
inclined to just let people who are confused go to OLC for help, since I
think this will affect a total of 4 people.
