1. make world fails trying to build libss. It complains that <ss/ss.h>
is not found during one of the compiles. ln -s . ss fixes it, but
there's undoubtedly a better way.

2. Something has gone wrong with rshd -- it never exits after a job
has completed. Substituting the 2.1.0-RELEASE rshd doesn't help any.
This problem is really painful, since it's screwing up the backups
(this machine is the tapehost).

3. As part of the upgrade (I did it the hard way - don't hate me),
the system steadfastly refused to remove /sbin-/init. What I did as
part of the upgrade was 'mv /sbin /sbin- ; cd /usr/src/sbin ; make
install'. Then I rebooted with a new kernel, then I tried to remove
/sbin-. All of it went except /sbin-/init. I was finally forced to
use clri to vaporise it. Does /sbin/init get some sort of special
treatment?
