Login can be executed by any user connected with a local or remote shell. Login could therefore be used as a forkbomb/dos attack which could be used to eat resources (and possbibly ttys?). Should login be set as chmod 700? After discussing this on IRC we couldn't think of a reason as to why this would break anything. Any thoughts/comments?
