[This is aimed at making sure ops knows about the relevant changes in
8.1 which is why #1 is included.  It is cc'd to testers for
informational purposes only, I don't expect any action to be taken I
suspect that #'s 2 and 3 are due to taking whatever cygnus release we
did (and are actually the sort of thing ops (or at least some members
thereof) has wanted for a while.)]

8.1 behaves a little differently than other releases in at least a
couple of ways.  The following three are the ones I've had pointed out
to me or noticed.  I think that they are both features, not bugs.
If people disagree they should say so.

1) people are not allowed to attach things on /os and /srvd.  This
means that when we want to we'll need to use the -O (capital-oh not
zero) flag to attach to override this behavior.

2) originating hostnames are logged for incomming eklogin connections

3) incomming krsh connetions are logged, both in last:

root      krsh2292     the-other-woman. Thu May 15 16:47 - 16:47  (00:00)

and via syslog:

SYSLOG, the-other-woman, daemon.info, root@THE-OTHER-WOMAN 
May 15 16:47:16 [the-other-woman] kshd[2292]: Shell process completed.

and if it is a root krsh the command and originator are logged:

SYSLOG, the-other-woman, daemon.notice, root@THE-OTHER-WOMAN 
May 15 16:47:16 [the-other-woman] kshd[2292]: Executing cat /.klogin for principal jweiss/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (jweiss@the-other-woman.MIT.EDU) as ROOT

I've only tried this to an 8.1 sun, but I believe an 8.1 sgi will
behave the same way.
