Consider first, why you *don't* want to do that: login (or login.krb5) is not called only by getty. Ideally you'd login as a non-root user and then *become* root with su, (or use sudo, or whatever is appropriate to your site policy). If I'm not mistaken, though, the original request was to do this on a Slackware system, presumably to deal with the single-user mode login. In that case, check the manual page for getty. My Slackware system uses "agetty", which permits me to specify an alternate login program (such as the original, rather than login.krb5). You would then simply edit /etc/inittab to use the non-kerberized login in single-user mode, and the kerberized version in other modes. I hope that helps... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
