vrt has fixed some of these already, but here's the list of all bugs
I've found so far.

xlogin prints:

Warning: Cannot convert string "9x15" to type FontStruct.

---

xlogin prints:

etc_shadow = xxxxxx

after you type your password

---

the init files do not copy in /afs/athena/service/CellServDB on
reboot.  In particular, gza.com is missing.

---

emacs was zero length!!  It appears that dump-emacs just fails to work
in afsland.

---

/etc/init.d/athena.old is cruft.

---

config_afs needs to be made to work.

---

xscreensaver fails for want of /usr/4lib/libXext.so.4.xx.  I was told
this was going to be in the release for backward compatibility.

---

su logs incorrectly: root-root

---

su runs the user's .cshrc and not the /.cshrc.  This could be a
cornell tcsh thing.

---

xlogin doesn't setpag().

---

/usr/bin/rcp is mode 644.

---

I can't rlogin back into the machine:

<254> deathtongue:~> rlogin dt
Connection closed.
Exit 1
      <255> deathtongue:~> 

rlogin to a vax worked fine.  rsh to the sun or a vax works fine.
eichin has fixes for this.  get them.
