As kretch failed to report, the "Update MIT Mailhub Info (Moira)"
option from xlogin fails in 8.2 because the krb5 kinit with no
arguments doesn't prompt for a username like the krb4 one did, so it
ends up asking you for daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU's password.

I fixed the script (/afs/.athena/system/moira/namespace) to prompt for
username separately and then call "kinit $username", which should work
for both old and new. I didn't release system.moira, so the fix won't
go out until it autoreleases tonight.
