I'm planning to release 7.7P for the RS/6000 tonight in the Athena
cell. The change is mainly to release a fix to xlogin so that you can
log in as root again.

I'm also planning to release the security fix to ksrvutil for all
platforms except SGI. (On the SGI, ksrvutil doesn't currently even
work.) I'm not doing a letter bump for this; only mkserv ops copies
ksrvutil local, and I think it's more trouble for operations to update
a server than to simply (a.) copy in the binary by hand, or (b.) run
it from somewhere else (which I think they're already doing).

Let me know if any of this is a problem...
