Ron,

I like that. Alleviates the need for a login manager at all and if all
win users snooping around would not even know what to type at the login:
prompt. But does this not kill any vt's for that user? ie,
cntrl-alt-F2, login, wham, GUI and not a term.

Possibly. But they never do that, so it hasn't come up yet. Neither have I found a need to, yet, for that matter.

I am sitting here turning over diff. scenarios in my head, how to
accomplish them using this login script. That is one of them. I need
more time! I don't have enough to play with.

Scientists are people, too. IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
