Hello, a happy newyear to all of you out there....
I bought MINIX for the Atari-ST some time ago and noticed login.c
not setting the HOME environment variable at all (which reminds me of
one of those very old fortune cookies "You can't go home unless you
set $HOME").
The bug is in the 'strcpy' just before execing the shell; the correct
synopsis for strcpy is 'strcpy(dest, source)' NOT 'strcpy(source,dest)' !!
Well, just exchange both arguments to strcpy and everything is just fine.

The PC 1.3 login works just fine, if you fix the bug in the function that makes /usr/adm/wtmp entries (has two int's as parameters instead of char *'s, the 1.3 init has the same problem). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In line 173 of login.c the declarations of tty and name are missing.
change from
> wtmp(tty, name)
to
< wtmp(tty, name)
< char *tty, *name;
and login will correctly update /usr/adm/wtmp.
