I,ve logged in to some unix bulliten boards,, and immidiately got into menu
driven procedures, asking your name, where you are calling from etc..
eventually asking you to assign your own userid (for first time users), does
anyone know how that is accomplished,, sure would appriciate the info...
I,ve been tasked to develop such a bulliten board, and would sure love to
know how the unix login was bypassed,,,,,,,anyone with that knowledge???

Easy. First, you create a login for new users to use. I happen to use 'newuser' here on Gagme. Then, for the default shell, you put the path to the executable file that contains the menu driven program. I think it has to be an executable image, not a shell script. So, for example, here on Gagme I have: newuser::106:1:New User:/usr/newuser:/usr/newuser/new The newuser login has no password, and executes /usr/newuser/new when it logs in, instead of the normal UNIX login... -greg -- Gregory A.
