[mod.computers.vax] login.coms discussion

I had a problem with students copying trojan login.com's into other users'
accounts.  Of course, the default protection I applied to directories would
prevent this, however, a few users did seem to want to leave their directory
world write for some obscure reason.
 
I use SYLOGIN to look for the login.com on the user's account.  SYLOGIN checks
the UIC of the login.com.  If it is the same as the user logging it SYLOGIN
goes ahead and runs it.  If it is not the same, SYLOGIN sends the file to
me through mail, does not run it, and deletes it.
