At Ease 3.0: Shut Down from Login Panel Hangs

I am experiencing a problem with my At Ease for Workgroups 3.0 lab. When I click the Shut Down button in the At Ease login panel, the pane disappears and the only items on my screen are the spinning cursor and menu bar. The spinning cursor continues until I either turn the power to the computer off or disconnect the workstation from the AppleShare 4.1 server.

This problem occurs on any workstation that is the first to try to shut down from this login panel. While the cursor is spinning, all other computers on the At Ease 3.0 network can shut down from this panel without any problem. If I interrupt the spinning cursor, the next machine that I try to shut down from the login pane exhibits the same thing.

I can shut down from the Finder or the At Ease panels without any problems.
If you click the Shut Down button on the At Ease login pane while there is an active connection to the file server, the computer hangs with a spinning cursor. If you are disconnected from the server, the At Ease machine completes its shutdown. This occurs on both LocalTalk and Ethernet networks.

This only occurs when AppleShare Workstation (client) version 3.6 or 3.6.1 is installed on the client At Ease 3.0 computer.

This has been fixed in At Ease for Workgroups 3.0.1. The At Ease for Workgroups Updater 3.0.1 is available from online services.
