Well, then.. I recommend you monitor the linux-dev discuss meeting for
updates:
discuss:charon:/usr/spool/discuss/linux-dev
or http://www.mit.edu:8008/charon/linux-dev/
Or recheck the packages periodically over the next few weeks as we
continue testing. Also, please send any bug reports (such as your
report about /usr/athena/bin/quota, which looks like it should be
setuid according to the makefile, so maybe Sal screwed up when he
built it) to linux-dev.
Thanks for the help testing Linux-Athena!
