I am here for the summer and have to do substantial work with Linux for my
MEng. Thesis, so I'm willing to help put some time into this. In particular
I'm interested in the new athena-login libs and integrating the athena-ized
ssh stuff from Athena 8, along with PAM -- I've worked on this at DEC a
bit. Since I'm not a SIPB member, I guess I won't be able to do anything
"officially", so I'll just contribute whatever patches I happen to write up
and see what you guys think.
