I was just about to say:

Then what does the "logout" do in the ZMI?

But then I thought "let's see what the logout option does in the zmi",
so I viewed the source, then searched the zope /lib/python directory
and in ZOPE_DIR/lib/python/App/Management.py, I found the definition
of manage_zmi_logout.

Basically, to log someone out, it sends an http error 401 in the
response.
