1. first and foremost, postmaster@localhost is redirected to
postmaster@mit.edu by default. i don't particularly care, but apparently
Ron Hoffmann <postmaster@mit.edu> does.
2. the system is set to be a public workstation by default (in /etc/athena/
rc.conf). this is probably not the best setting...
3. the root password is set to 'drroot' by default. there's not problem
with this, but one must use /os/usr/bin/passwd to change it, as the
regular 'passwd' doesn't work because it cross-checks against the
Kerberos passwords, and root doesn't have 'drroot' as its Kerberos
password.
4. another alias trick: /dev/null does not seem valid as an email address.
does it matter if an illegal destination is specified, if the mail's
going into the bitbucket anyway?
all in all, a good system.
