	Cygnus contributed a significant number of changes to login
that made it into Beta 6.  MIT has not tested these changes  very much
at all, although Cygnus has tested the changes and shipped versions of
this code to customers.

	In other words, if you are compiling with standard options on
platforms that are fairly common, it is likely that this login will
work well for you.  There are situations that I doubt work correctly;
if you compile with --with-krb4=<diredctory> where <directory>
contains MIT Kerberos4, I think it breaks.   

	It is a beta; we may find problems with the login code.
However, at least it tries to work--something you can't really say for
the login in Beta5.
