I'm not sure... I assume logging in is handled by /usr/bin/login, and control is then (i. e. after successful login) transferred to the login shell, which is the program specified in the "shell" field (see "man 5 passwd") of /etc/passwd. How is login supposed to know if the program specified in this field is actually a dialog shell? >From "man 1 login" I read that many shells have a built-in login command, but /usr/bin/login is the system's default binary for this purpose if the "shell" (quotes deserved if it is an editor as shown in my assumption) has no capability of performing a login. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
