There wasn't any problem with the webster servers. The problem came
from attempting to use webster from an 8.3 machine. 8.3 machines
currently break old binaries making class HS hesiod queries. Since
recompiling results in a binary that works well on both old and new
Athena releases, I rebuilt webster and xwebster for Solaris and Irix and
installed them. The new versions will become available after the locker
is released tonight. The old binaries are still there with .old
extensions in case there are any problems. Enjoy.
