There are srvd-* rpms in /mit/linux/packages/5.1/RPMS/i386, so one off hand
might guess there is a srvd that goes with them.  The non-srvd packages are
ready enough for me to test; I'm using them and they are mostly working fine.

Some things like xlogin seem to want /srvd/.rvdinfo to exist, so the old
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/system/i386_linux2/srvd doesn't suffice.  I got around
that easily enough, since I don't need a real /srvd at the moment anyway,
and xlogin and other things seem to be working fine now.
