1) named.localhost{,.rev} were never reverted to the bind 8.1
versions.  this causes named to reject the zones




2) /usr/lib/cpp (/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib) is a symlink loop:
speaker-for-the-dead.mit.edu# ls -l /usr/lib/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          16 Apr 23  1998 /usr/lib/cpp -> /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
speaker-for-the-dead.mit.edu# ls -l /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          13 May 22 17:59 /usr/ccs/lib/cpp -> ../../lib/cpp

This caused the synctree part of mkserv to break (but not cause mkserv
to fail)




3) /etc/mail/sendmail.cf was the solaris version, not the athena
version.  This caused sendmail to flame at me and not work.

After fixing this problem, when my machine boots, it is running a
sendmail daemon.  Perhaps the following files should go away:

-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          868 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc0.d/K36sendmail
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          868 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc1.d/K36sendmail
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          868 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          868 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rcS.d/K36sendmail



3a) I got the following message during the update:
SUNWsndmr
Copyright 1998 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
cp: cannot create /root/etc/mail/aliases: No such file or directory

there was no /etc/mail/aliases, and I'm pretty sure that
/etc/mail/aliases.old was not the /etc/mail/aliases from before thre
update (there is a small chance I'm confused about this tho.)



4) lpsched was running:
the following soud probably go away:
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          460 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc0.d/K39lp
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          460 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc1.d/K39lp
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          460 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc2.d/S80lp
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys          460 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rcS.d/K39lp



5) snmpd and related bogosities were running.  I think we wat to nuke
the following:
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          861 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc0.d/K07dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          404 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc0.d/K07snmpdx
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          861 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc1.d/K07dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          404 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc1.d/K07snmpdx
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          861 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc2.d/K07dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          404 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc2.d/K07snmpdx
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         21 May  7  1998 /etc/rc2.d/K76snmpdx -> ../init.d/init.snmpdx
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         18 May  7  1998 /etc/rc2.d/K77dmi -> ../init.d/init.dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          404 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          861 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc3.d/S77dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          861 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rcS.d/K07dmi
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          404 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rcS.d/K07snmpdx



6) powerd was runnign.  I think we don't want it, but I'm not sure:
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys         1959 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc0.d/K37power
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys         1959 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc1.d/K37power
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys         1959 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rc2.d/S85power
-rwxr--r--   5 root     sys         1959 Sep  1  1998 /etc/rcS.d/K37power



7) nscd was running.  i have no idea how this will interact with our
tendency to change the the passwd and group files out from under it.



8) the solaris supplied man pages don't include pre-formatted pages.
do we care?



9) I'm not sure what causes the zephyr error (attach?), and I don;t
think it matters, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
