8.3.8 is out in the dev cell. I had lots of little problems putting
it out; hopefully I got all the changes out there and didn't break
anything. Changes include:
* We reverted to the krb4 password-changing program, to avoid
creating a big dependence on the v5 admin protocol.
* The bash dotfiles should work now. Or at least they parse.
* We install csh and sh dotfiles in /etc now, and treat them
as config files. On IRIX, we run the useful parts of the OS
versions in the system dotfiles.
* We only run bindkey in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc if it's
actually being run under tcsh, so "#/bin/csh" scripts won't
always break. (csh scripts should really use -f, though.)
* We have an MH man page saying that we use nmh.
* There's an lprng fix for server to server forwarding.
If there aren't new problems with this release over the weekend, it
should propagate to the athena cell Monday evening. Propagation
