Barry,

Please, change the Digital information in the Kerberos FAQ.

Susanna Wood is no longer a Digital Employee; she left the company several 
months ago!    I just checked the FAQ today on 
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/kerberos-faq/user 
(which I believe is the seminal copy), and it still has the obsolete 
information in it: (my changes below with || at line beginning)

Vendor:         Digital Equipment Corporation
Product:        DECathena
Contact:        Susanna Wood		! Obsolete info
                (508) 952-4399		! Obsolete info
                wood@athena.tay.dec.com	! Obsolete info
***Contact Information should be:
||		Steve Omand
||		(508) 952-4350
||		omand@athena.tay.dec.com
||		info@athena.tay.dec.com
Last update:    4/11/94
||		4/6/95

Base version:   MIT Kerberos 4

Notes:
        o requires INGRES/SQL

||	  Service Management System.  Kerberos in the kit has absolutely 
||	  no dependency on either Moira or Ingres.
        o requires PC-NFS with MS-DOS or Windows.
||	o DECathena software is available for free to non-profit educational 
||	  institutions that participate in Digital's CSLG program.
