Like he said <g>.
The usefull stuff is:
- userid specification
- password specification
- phone number
- DNS
- Any initialization strings or modifications to the standard 'ogin'
'assword' expect strings. That's '(Login|login)', usually, and
'(Password|password)', trimming off the initial letter usually
insures standard handling.
The scripts provided are almost always broken or incompatible with
current GNU/Linux configurations. Check them for the above information.
