Has anyone else had problems with the LoginHook option of the loginwindow program under system 2.0? Originally I thought it was the MOTD application that was causing the problem. But any application will cause the same symptoms. The first login through the window server works fine, the LoginHook application executes correctly. But after the first session is logged out, all other window server sessions are refused. Does anyone have any ideas?

Jan Sanislo (oystr@maui.cs.washington.edu), who was also having trouble with a different LoginHook, pointed this out to me as well. The problem seems to be that on subsequent uses (after the first) the LoginHook (MOTD in this case) can't make a connection to the window server: Jan 14 08:16:09 ssrg-next-1 MOTD[2541]: DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host local host I hope to have time to try to track this down soon (I'm busy installing a bunch of NeXTstations) but if anyone has any suggestions of how to fix the problem, please let me know and I'll get a working version of 2.0 MOTD out to the archive servers ASAP. - Christopher -------

I have also had problems with the login/out hooks and I have noticed all
of the on-line documentation refering to the loginwindow has gone. It had
been a while since I set the defaults on for the loginwindow and was annoyed
when I had to go back to the 1.0 OD for the online docs...
Does anyone know the "real" info on these?
Mark.
