Short version:

	How does dcm propogate /etc/passwd?

In the athena environment as set up here at MIT, it doesn't

Long version:

	athena workstations rely on a combination of hesiod and
kerberos for /etc/passwd-type functionality; the login program creates
an account for you at login time if you're authenticated.
