Sorry, we've been a bit busy trying to make sure that we get

I haven't seen a note to accounts or system-hackers from you yet.  Did
I miss one?

I don't know if cross-realm auth from ATHENA.MIT.EDU will be
preserved.  We don't really have useful contacts there these days, so
it's hard to maintain that as a trust relationship.

I haven't seen an email from you offering help either.  Did I miss
that too?

How are you testing this if you can't get a ticket?

And you're welcome to keep accessing it that way.  Although we'll be
offering Kerberised SSHv2 shortly as well.

Any other questions?  The rest of your email appeared to just be a
rant.
