The new Linux-Athena 5.2 install's sendmail.cf doesn't support
/etc/localusers for handling mail for local users.
Aaron claims that this is because we switched to using the
standard Athena sendmail.cf...
This should certainly get fixed before release or we'll
have a flood of complaints. It may make sense to generate
the file from /etc/athena/access.
As an unrelated note, I'm trying out the 5.2 RPM's on a friend's
machine which is giving me a good idea of some of the problems
we're likely to run into. So far it has been working fairly smoothly.
It will be extremely important that we have documentation *before*
release that explains what the changes are and how to make
customizations. Changes such as the handling of /etc/passwd.* and
the new use of /etc/athena/access really need to be documented.
