Known issues in Debathena

• Some packages (Zephyr, from, mailusage, and mailquota) willl not work behind a NAT device or home router. Consider using tzc for Zephyr. [more]
• Upgrading between Ubuntu releases may cause you to lose Debathena functionality until you re-enable it. [more]
• An existing local account with the same name as your Athena account may cause problems for debathena-login, debathena-login-graphical, and debathena-workstation users. A workaround is available. [more]
• When upgrading from Ubuntu Intrepid from Jaunty, you may see a message about /etc/services that indicates that three Athena-specific lines are about to be removed. You should select “Yes” / “Install the package maintainer's version”; the Athena lines will be re-added later in the upgrade process.
• Upgrades of the libhesiod0 package may cause an OMINOUS WARNING error. [more]
• Pine’s “bounce” feature sends messages to the original recipient instead of the specified one. [more]
• Some legacy applications that ignore nsswitch or attempt to enumerate the passwd database will behave incorrectly and not notice Hesiod users. For example, finger without the -m option will attempt to walk the passwd file and ignore Hesiod. (This specific example has been worked around in Debathena.)
