[comp.sys.apollo] login filtering

bonnetf@apo.esiee.fr (bonnet-franck) (05/22/91)

Hi !

I would like to know if there is an implemented function in the 
registries (or OS) to filter user's login in on a machine?
 
I explain:

Actually we use a small program that is executed at each login.
It verify the user's group name, and if the user is not in one
of the authorized group the program perform the following : 
 - it create a pad 
 - make it invisible 
 - pass the "lo" command to the DM with the pad_$dm_cmd routine ... 
 
Of course it is, VERY SLOW, UNSECURE, not clean ... etc,etc. 

Any  ideas/suggestions/propositions ????

At sr10.2 Apollo provided the passwd_override file ("/etc/rgy/passwd_override")
This provides a couple of different kinds of login control on a per
machine basis. See the man page for "passwd_override" or the manual
"Administering the Domain/OS Registry" for more info.
