I've put out 8.4.4 for Solaris and IRIX, and 8.4.3 for Linux.  Changes
in this patch release include:

	* A krb5 ftpd security hole has been fixed.  You should update
	  /usr/athena/etc/ftpd or disable it as soon as possible.
	  (This problem does not affect Athena 8.3 machines, only 8.4
	  machines.)

	* The local netscape stuff should work now (run
	  /etc/athena/local-netscape as root to force the copy, or
	  wait overnight), and there is a /usr/athena/bin/htmlview
	  which will take advantage of it.

	* On IRIX, the midi startup is reenabled.

	* On Solaris, the SUNWdtbas package has been installed, which
	  should make xemacs work again.
