This happened because dot.mit.edu wasn't serving afs this morning.

I think it'd be a good idea to modify the synclocker script so that it
doesn't depend on the rel-eng cell (for synctree) and the net cell
(for krbtgp). Does anyone see any problems with doing this?

I don't think there's much likelihood that we'd miss updates of these
programs by putting a copy in /usr/local/bin on ronald-ann2, since
these programs don't seem to be updated very often:

-rwxrwxr-x  1 epeisach   170280 Sep 19  1991 /mit/synctree/pmax_ul4/obj/synctree
-rwxrwxr-x  1 tytso      118784 Nov 30  1990 /afs/net/tools/pmax_ul4/krbtgp

I believe someone here (Derek?) has a more recent version of krbtgp;
it'd probably be better to install that one in /usr/local/bin instead.
