Okay, I hate to say this, but I really don't like the Mac-Type Login
dialog box (for 1 thing, I don't like losing the boot-up info, /dev/oldmsgs
only holds stuff up to the *rc files). Of course, there are two ways to
avoid this, either change the mode of /mac/bin/Login to 700 or else edit
/etc/inittab and replace the call to /etc/loginrc to getty (I've opted for
the 2'nd, I don't like that stuff in sulog when loginrc is run :).
Anyway, my question is.... is this a Bad Thing? I don't see how it could
be since it only initializes the mac environment for itself and not other
"reincarnations" of it, and anyway, loginrc (and Login) will getty in case
they fail........... still, it's nice to be sure...:):)
