8.1.0 release on a Sparc 5

While manually updating to 8.1.0 from 8.0K at about 10pm yesterday, I
got a list of files that would be replaced by the update (and renamed
*.old), followed by the "Press return to continue" prompt.  The update
did NOT stop at the prompt, but kept going.

When I finally checked the changes to rc.conf, I found that it had
been changed *twice* by the update, so my original rc.conf was
permanently gone, and that I could only speculate on its contents...
(I.e. rc.conf.old was an interim version, created during the update.)

It looks like /usr/athena/etc/login.krb uses a different default for
KRBTKFILE than rkinitd.  The former uses "/tmp/tkt_3" for ttyp3, or
pts/3, or whatever, while the latter uses /tmp/tkt$uid.  Shouldn't the
krb4 ticket file default for login.krb stay consistent with the krb4
"ticket-forwarding" mechanism?
