Title: Login Short: UNIX cloned login/password utilities (v1.00) ShortName: login.arc Author: Alun Jones (auj@aber.ac.uk) Date of Release: 23-nov-95 Status: Freeware Archiver used: SparkFS ------------------------------------------------------------------ Short Description: LOGIN contains three programs: login, passwd and readonly. Together they supply a simple form of security plus the ability to manage the boot sequence. Login is a clone of the Unix login program. It is a command-line program and is intended to be placed within your bootup sequence before the desktop starts. At this early point, it is possible to stop (clueless) people from accessing facilities on your machine without logging in. Different environments can be entered depending on the login name entered. Passwd changes your password in the /etc/passwd file. Readonly marks a system variable as being read-only. Once marked, any attempt to change the value of the variable will cause an error to be generated.
