But it occurred to me . . . Does it make sense for login, after an invalid password, to exec getty rather than issue its own login: prompt? This would eliminate the two login: prompts (surely a goodness), but would it tie login too closely to getty? I dont know, just ruminating. -- John Lukas ihnp4!ihlpf!lukas 312-510-6290
