Greg,

	Thanks for actually doing the srvtab work yourself!  I had
actually scheduled it to be done during the _next_ boring/useless I/S
meeting that I had to attend (such as the upcoming ILEAD meeting next
Wednesday :-).  But I'm busy enough that I'm quite happy to have someone
else do work that I had committed to doing.  <grin>

	I am confused about your submitting these patches to
source-reviewers, though.  Does this mean that you're planning to ship
8.1 with the Kerberos 5 rcmd daemons that are currently in the Athena
tree?  If I'm not mistaken, that's from a very old snapshot that I gave
releng a long time ago.  It's missing a lot of fixes which Sam has put
into the Krb5 1.0 release. including a number of security fixes.

	I'm assuming that at some point in the near future we should
give you a another krb5 snapshot from our development tree for the 8.1
release, with the srvtab functionality integrated in.  Is this your
understanding of what we should be happening?  And if so, when do we
need to get you the snapshot, and how do you want to deal with it in the
context of the new source-reviewers procedure?  Surely we don't want to
send the entire set of diffs (potentially megabyte or two) to the list!
