Sorry to take a while to respond.... Anyway, this sounds good to me, as
basically it gives me the same environment I have now. I would put forward a
few ideas on the package contents, though, if anyone's interested.
1) seperate the ktelnet client and daemon, and/or remove the dependancy the
daemon has with the athena login (makes life easier for people wanting secure
login into non-athena machines, or who just want the client)
2) consider making the additions to inetd.conf and services available alone in
a seperate package, so they can be trivially installed without needing to have
all the startup stuff in /etc/rc.d/init.d/athena.init also (this is what I was
commenting on having to back out earlier).
But in any event, what you propose will keep life easier for (the more than
you think :) ) people like me.....
