I have a few questions, baffling but trivial, about unix logins. How can I get sio dumb terminals to use /bin/login? I have "env UNIXLOGIN true" set in every startup file I could find. I also have /bsd4.2/bin/csh as the shell to use in `node_data/siomonit_file. Yet the login prompt is "Please Log in:" and none of the /bin/login features are available (new mail notification, /etc/passwd shell checking...). Also, is there a way that I can use /bin/login on a node also so that users are notified when they have mail ... Another reason that I would like to use /bin/login on sio lines is so that when uucp logs in, it will know from /etc/passwd to run uucico.real. I have Remote logins (ethernet TCP/IP rlogin) working from any node to another node and from either of our VAX 11/750's to any node. When logging in from anyplace to an apollo (non-gateway) node, rlogin correctly reads /etc/passwd and uses /bin/csh as the shell. But, if I log in from any node or from either of the VAX 11/750s to the gateway node itself (which incidentally contains the /etc directory) I get the bourne shell /bin/sh. Any insight into this phenomena will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... ======================================================================== Mike Burati University of Lowell UUCP: ..wanginst!ulowell!burati CSNET: burati@ulowell
