The workstations running 7.2B do not have end_session.  You should
probably consider updating the file /usr/athena/lib/init/xsession so
that it doesn't mention end_session at all, since it seems you now have 
the defualt "logout" command send a SIGHUP to kill the session anyway.

(A completely unrelated comment---the console login routine for the new
release is screwy.  Sometimes the *username* is not echoed, and
sometimes it will prompt for a username and password, but will then time
out.)

# The session gate will source .logout when it gets a SIGHUP.
