I put the nologin back and lily no longer allow me to login.  Presumably,
something erase the old /bin/login.  Anyway, taking out the /etc/nologin
is bad news, so I took the source under orchid:/usr/source/longnames and
put in the operator hack (4 lines of change).

The new login is installed under /usr/bin as a real file, and the source
is still on my lily account.  This is only temporary.  I'll do the real
installation Monday.
