Robert,

        This really depends on what you need to do and what shell you are
using. The last phase of a login involves the invocation of the shell for
the user (this is bash, by default). Every shell (read the manpage) reads
some config files - both system ones (stored in /etc) and local user ones
(stored in the user home directory). These are the files which you can
customize to do whatever you want.

        In the case of bash, I believe these files are /etc/profile,
~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile. You need to read the bash man page to find
out more.

        On the other hand, I did work at a client where they had suppliers
dial in to their machine to send invoices. The client wrote their own
customized version of the getty program to enforce their security
procedures.

Regards,
Kenneth
