I have that version of the script -- same md5sum.
The script appears to be running along happily. I don't notice any differences in how the script runs now as opposed to two weeks ago when I was doing the testing.
What I do notice is when the script is run, I'm not getting all of the init scripts for debathena. I get debathena-dotfiles, debathena-liblocker, debathena-lprng, debathena-mit-automounter, debathena-pyhesiodfs, openafs-client.
If I run "aptitude -y install debathena-workstation" on a machine that previously failed with the script, the meta package installs fine and the machine comes up as a Debathena workstation.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.04.1 amd64 and the machines aren't being blocked by the firewall (I deliberately checked this :-)
Does the install-debathena.sh script log to a file someplace? I might be able to figure out something from that.

If I run the script using either "login-graphical" or "workstation", I no longer get the expected results (no AFS, no Kerberos, no Debathena login window, etc). Since Reg Day is Tuesday and I'm trying to get the lab installed, I would really appreciate it if someone could drop me a line and lend a hand.
