Alex,
FYI, when SIPB releases the new version of Linux-Athena (8.2), the AFS
Sysname will be changing from i386_linux2 to i386_linux3. This change
is to denote the difference between executables compiled with libc5
and executables compiled with libc6. Of course, the newer systems can
run the older software (but the reverse is not true).
Could you add appropriate compatibility symlinks in the third-party
software lockers you maintain?
Thanks!
