1.  Testers list
1.1  security issues raised on files/directories chowned 
by builder.  Builder password changed, reducing 
exposure.
1.2  XUSERFILESEARCHPATH and XFILESEARCHPATH move to 
global cshrc?  Need to make and document decision.
1.3  /bin/csh link provided on suns for backward 
compatibility; WILL NOT BE CONTINUED ON NEW PLATFORMS
1.4  documentation list growing
1.  Patches (miki requested we delay this until next week)
2.  xdm - being worked on
3.  AFS - if new patch version available, hold off unless 
compelling reasons.  We feel some confidence in what we 
are running now.
4.  AFS applications - available, being tested.
5.  rlogin home direct - SIGURG problem?
6.  warn people about early testing - dot will deal.
7.  autoupdate FALSE loses - Craig/Greg will think

Solaris 2.4 Early expected 6/18/96

IRIX 5.3 now in alpha

1.  Lockers need links!
