At some point in the past, the Debian zhm didn't support Hesiod servers. That no longer seems to be the case.

We should find out if all the releases we support can do the Hesiod sloc lookups, and use that if they can.

Alternatively, since /etc/default/zephyr-clients is just shell, we could code the Hesiod lookup into there.

Moira's chsh uses /etc/shells to determine whether the user is trying to shoot themselves in the foot or not. We should either:

• add /bin/athena/tcsh and /bin/athena/bash to /etc/shells (I think we can skip cruft that's in /etc/shells on Athena 9, like shells from the gnu or sipb lockers)

• Patch chsh to use some new list (/etc/shells.moira) or something. That way we can also remove things like /sbin/nologin from the list, since on Athena 9, Moira will happily let you change your shell to that.

It looks like we might be able to use Russ Allbery's libpam-afs-session package to replace libpam-athena-locker. An aklog_homedir option was added early in development, which would solve the problem with libpam-openafs-session that libpam-athena-locker was written to solve.

libpam-afs-session was not made available in Dapper or Etch, but all other releases we support should have one that's new enough to work.

       Does that work when $HOME is a symlink to AFS?

This should work, since aklog_homedir just shells out to "aklog -p $HOME", but we should test it, as well as the module in general.

It would be nice to have one fewer pieces of software that we're maintaining just for Debathena.
