   What's the deal with mboggle now?  As I understand it, the server was
   supposed to be a standalone process that the user ran, but there
   doesn't seem to be any such binary installed anywhere.

The last big change to mboggle was to convert it from running under
the gameserver to running stand-alone.  However, it still has to run
as a server on some host, and "hesinfo mboggle sloc" says that's
supposed to be charon.

It looks to me like somehow the gameserver start-up got dropped when
we migrated to the new charon.

   I can just
   build whatever's in sipbsrc, but I'd like to know what's going on with
   the programs first...

I believe you need to rebuild mbogglemaster, install it locally on
charon and modify /etc/rc.local so that it gets run when the machine
reboots.  You might also want to update Makefile.cpp so it uses
/usr/athena/bin/zwrite instead of /usr/athena/zwrite.
