Wan) >From: Dave Remien[ and poster not able to accept sugestions ] Here at the DOT we have a login.c program that can secure any terminal or lockout any user from any terminal with a few configuration files. The source was obtained from our vendor but the basic source was of USENET postings. In /etc there are files such as /etc/securetty /etc/nologin /etc/issue [*sic*] and others that allow configuration of modem ports, regular terminal ports, prohibit root logins (actually pretty nice considering) and more! Check your local archive site for the 'login' sources. If you need a good copy - e-mail me and I'll ship you the version(s) we have. BTW: ours support remote system logins....with security -- Harry Skelton - Senior Systems Administrator - U.S. Dept. of Transportation ..!attctc!tons61!harrys ..!obdient!tons61!harrys ..!tfd!tons61!harrys [ Views expressed by Harry Skelton are not those of the US Gov. or CBSI ]
