Text for release notes:
There is one addition to xlogin with this release. There is a new
option in the "Login Options" menu called "Check your email". If you
select this option, and then type your login name and password, a
summary of any waiting email will be displayed in the console window.
You will then be prompted to continue logging in or to abort.
All options on both of the menus may also be selected with the
function keys instead of the mouse. The 6 options on the "Login
Options" menu can be selected by pressing F1 through F6, respectively.
The first 9 options on the "Other Options" menu can be selected by
typing SHIFT-F1 through SHIFT-F9, respectively.
A number of minor fixes have been incorporated:
* The information services logo has been added and the word "Project"
dropped from the greeting.
* Login will now try harder to attach your homedirectory, giving you
two chances to give up if you must use a temporary homedir.
* Your kerberos tickets will now be good for 10 hours instead of 8.
* It will no longer sometimes put your kerberos tickets in the wrong
place.
* config_console will not exit until the console has actually
reconfigured, so that invoking it twice in a row will now work.
* If your homedir is already attached, it will authenticate you again.
* Your homedir is now detached immediately on your logout.
* The IBM RS-6000 is now supported.
* Xlogin can now attach a locker before running a program selected in
the pre-login options, avoiding the use of an intermediate shell script.
* Pre-login applications now have a more complete environment.
