I've just made available a few new RPMs which fix some known problems
and security holes.
First, the athena-rc package fixes the sendmail.cf problem. You
should be able to easily configure local users if you install the new
package. Just put the names of local users in /etc/localusers and
sendmail will deliver mail locally (and expose them as local users).
Second, the misc package fixes a security hole in write, and it adds
the "help" and "sis" commands to /usr/athena/bin.
You should upgrade ASAP. As root:
attach linux
cd /mit/linux/redhat/current/i386/updates
./update.pl
Then reboot your machine for the new programs to take effect.
