The problem depends on when you took an update to 7.2M and what
customizations you have made to your workstation. mkserv remote copies
/usr/athena/lib/init/xsession local, therefore, people using 7.2M and
earlier packs with mkserv remote will come across the error that Dave
indicated. We could update the release to 7.2N, but that will not solve
the problem with the rest of staff.
I feel this should be fixed if possible for this release and the
compatibility removed in the future. That way people who do not
immetidately update but are using the new packs will continue to
function. I suspect it's a one line addition to dash.c - Craig?
