I modified login (from /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena/login) to use
/etc/athena/shellcvt when creating a passwd entry from Hesiod
information, and made the resulting login binary the one that people
will get when they install NetBSD-current from this point on.

There was still a problem that /bin/athena/tcsh can't handle "limit
coredumpsize 0".  I changed /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc to have "limit
coredumpsize 0 k" instead, since that works.  Some users may still
have trouble because they may have copied that into their dotfiles.
It would be nice if I could fix /bin/athena/tcsh to handle "limit
coredumpsize 0", but I don't know:

	* What source tree Yoav built it from
	* Whether he changed the Makefiles any to build it
	* Whether he changed the source any to build it

and it's very easy to break things in the shell in subtle ways by
building it wrong, so I really can't do that safely.  This is why you
should leave source trees around.
