Anyone have any ideas? Sure... however insecure it may be.... you can replace the ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure in /etc/ttys with ttyd1 "/usr/bin/telnet {othermachine}" unknown on secure They _WILL_ see a login from the other machine... and the security implications of using a rsh to accomplish this as init runs as root are tooo scary. -branson ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?
