I haven't seen the release notes yet (being a cellar dweller!), but I've
run into a couple of possible problems:

1.	My idle motd doesn't seem to work.  It always has before.
	Here's /etc/athena/login/Xlogin.local:

		*loginName: jsolof
		*motd2File:  /etc/athena/login/motd2

	And here's /etc/athena/login/motd2:

		[awkward silence...]

		Hey wait a sec -- it's gone!  Must have gotten blown
		away in the update...

2.	My shell (the sipb tcsh) doesn't work!  I get the following message:

		hosttype: Undefined variable.
		>

	instead of my usual prompt:

		[11:24am] [%~] arimathea%

Are these problems known?  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Jeff
