Hi. As I probably mentioned when we talked last, there aren't many
people doing too much work on the Linux port lately, and it's unlikely
that we'll get it done any time in the near future. So I've added you
to the acl on /afs/sipb/system/i386_linux1/usr/athena. I believe that
no one currently uses the system packs there, so you should be able to
remove things that don't belong in /usr/athena. (Avoid fiddling with
setuid executables, though, since you won't be able to set setuid bits
in AFS.)

This is a fair amount of work; you might ask Yoav where the right
place to start is, if you want to try it yourself. We can probably
find space for it if you can get the build to work.
