   Currently, I am typing this message using "telnet athena 25", because I can't
   send it any other way from splat...

   Bugs:
   1. In 7.3, /usr/lpp/info/En_US was listed in attach.conf as a valid mountpoint
      so that the info pack would work; it isn't there anymore.

   2. Also, in 7.3, there was a special sendmail.cf for the RISC/6000; the
      one on the BSD platforms does NOT work on the rios... somehow the one
      on splat appears to be the BSD one...

   Have fun.

In fact, looking at the source tree, the only way this can happen is if
someone did a "make install" in athena/config/common after the fact.  If
this is ever done, you MUST do an install in athena/config/<machine> in
case anything was overriden by this.  This may mean that there are
problems on other architectures.

The other interesting thing to note is that the version of attach.conf
in bsd-4.3 and Ultrix actually are incorrect, and the version in common
is correct, so the other ones should be removed or updated...
