I think lee may be right here.  Perhaps under Athena-Wide, it should
open up a connection to athena.mit.edu and use that, instead of just
doing a hesiod lookup.  Then, you could add the ZLocateUser output to
the end.  Of course, this is an issue which can't be decided here,
since it's a design thing, not a bug.
