I did know this. The problem with the UV.FLAVOR solution is that the message and user prompt are STILL displayed - the request was to NOT have the message and prompt displayed. Setting UV.FLAVOR to N (cannot create accounts) only comes into play once you've answered 'y' to the "Would you like to set it up (Y/N)" question, at which point you get the "You are not allowed to create uniVerse accounts" message. My take on the request was to entirely remove the message and prompt, basically making uv a no-op if the directory was not an existing uniVerse account.
However, re-reading the request I do see "'...or disallow the "y" answer', which the UV.FLAVOR solution would solve. Guess there are a few ways (as always!) to resolve this! =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= "Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open." - Anonymous Glenn M.

I cannot remember the exact details but if you search in the documentation for UV.FLAVOR it will tell you.

What I have seen done is to copy uv to uv_real (or a name you prefer), then write a new "uv" wrapper that looks to see if a "VOC" file exists in the current directory - if one exists, then exec uv_real, otherwise just exit out. Make certain to set execute permissions for everyone on this wrapper. Note that this only solves the "uv" problem; if someone types "uvsh" (or for that matter "uv_real"!) they will experience the same issue, but I don't recall if universe will still work if you wrapper uvsh. Been a while since I've worked with the environment. Good luck. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
