  I dunno about sms, but moira can be found in /pub/ATHENA/moira on
athena-dist.mit.edu.

  In the context of using sendmail with hesiod, I rebuild sendmail with Hesiod
support (if it's not already there) and put this in sendmail.cf:

OUhesiod

  With a hesiod.conf file that looks like this:

lhs=.ns
rhs=.neurotica.com
classes=IN,HS

  And a zone in my nameserver called maildrop.ns.neurotica.com containing
records like this:

mcguire         HS      TXT     mcguire@phaduka.neurotica.com
....

  Note that one can use Hesiod for *lots* of different things, not just mail
aliases, so this is just an example.  I hope this helps.
