X still doesn't work.

Kerberos, attach, and aklog are working.  I've gotten the srvtab back
from where I was hiding it, and put it in /etc/athena/srvtab.  I
modified the Kerberos configuration to look in /etc/athena/srvtab
instead of /etc/srvtab for the srvtab.

The shadow password library was missing functions just like Tamu's
was, so I installed from /usr/src, after futzing with 'make install' a
lot to get things put into /usr/sbin instead of /etc.

/bin/login would be Sal's kerberized one, but it neither uses the
correct path when you log in as root, nor works when I try to log in
as ghudson, so I'm back to the default /bin/login.

A lot of makefiles are broken because the source dir is no longer
/usr/athena/src/src.  I've been fixing them as I go, but I don't have
"xmkmf /usr/src/athena" working properly, so I'm doing it by hand with
imake.  This is sometimes tedious.

I had problems with discuss and lpr; I'll look into them them.  My
problem with lpr is particularly strange; it puts makespools into
/etc/athena (previously in /etc, but I fixed that), and I can verify
with ls -l that /etc/athena/makespools exists, but when I run
/etc/athena/makespools, I get "command not found", just as if I had
run /etc/athena/foo.

I've been taking notes on the things I've had to do manually; in
particular, /usr/athena/lib/X11 and /usr/athena/include/X11 don't get
created by hand when you install dash, and kerberos and afs-nfs
require some files.
