o ODM/rc.athena changes bugs[9118]
The changes presented here would start timed/named using the AIX SRC.
This would fix the problem of trying to customize RISC/6000 as NFS
servers or other AIX allowable customizations that may rely on
nameservice prior to rc.athena being started. Our named doesn't
support SRC, so the effect will be that srcmstr would start named
and then believe that it had died (it forked). The other change
presented would fix the change-password feature within SMIT.
o AFS
The top-level AFS Imakefile is not configured properly to deal with
the RISC/6000 (7.3 bug). When installation is done, remove
/srvd/etc/athena/afsd and install the contents of root.client/usr/vice/etc
into /srvd/usr/vice/etc. Synctree rules will need to be fixed.
The newly-built kernel extension SHOULD be installed. AFS previously
came from the network install image.
o login
Besides my previous message that describes the replacement of "tsm",
you have to modify the synctree rules. In addition, you may want to
have the update script edit the banner.
o passwd.real
You probably want to have something create a symlink in /usr/athena/bin
to avoid extra things from complaining. Or, do you think that people
really used to type the full path?
