Athena 7.4 Release: Changes that AFfect General Users/ Draft V.1
(section 7, page 11) says,

} 	You can now configure xlogin to automatically fill in your
} 	username as a default... by putting a line of the following
} 	form in the file /etc/athena/login/Xlogin.local:
} 
} 		*loginNAME: yourname

Notice that the following listing of that locker does not contain that file:

	% ls -alF /etc/athena/login
	total 91

	-rwxr-xr-x  1 root        16992 Dec  7  1989 rgb.txt*

Should I: 

	-- COPY Xlogin to Xlogin.local and then ADD the line to
	   Xlogin.local?, or

	-- just create an Xlogin.local that contains only the specified
	   new line, or

	-- what?
