There should (is) not be a need to modify so many files. Just have to be
creative with your hook usage.

It won't make its way into CVS (thanks, however, for your earnest
contribution!), since this is a non-standard usage of SM. It is best kept
as a plugin. If you look more at vlogin, you'll see that it *CAN* do what
you need already. The only thing that it couldn't satisfy for you was the
need to automate the extraction of the server name from the username.
This is best accomplished as a change to that plugin, and can be done in
much less time.
Cheers,
Paul
