The problem is that processes that do not exit properly at session
end cause reactivate to fail to clean up the login volume, resulting
in the next login failing. A new version of the reactivate package
is now available in the athena10 apt repository which addresses this,
so hopefully things will work better after machines update to this
new version.
Thanks,
Bob
