Hello Bruce -
If your system has been set to false auto update this would
be the reason you didnt' get the newest version of Athena.
To check this type following at your athena prompt:
cat /etc/athena/rc.conf
and check what public is set to. If it's set to true skip to
next section if it is false use an editor to change false to
true. ie: ed /etc/athena/rc.conf
/PUBLIC/
s/false/true/p
w
q
then reboot your system.
*************************************
If public is set to true then edit : /etc/athena/version
and remove the last few lines.
HUNTER:7:24am: hunter! cat /etc/athena/version
