It wouldn't have to be application specific so much as providing a facility to let applications discover whether a user belongs to a class which requires conservative restrictions for a particular environment (eg. isp-shell-account.) Let each application decide what if anything the presence or absence of such an attribute means. I do not believe it is in the interest of FreeBSD to hard-wire restrictions into common tools that make them cumbersome to use or subtract usefulness. -Chris On Thu, 27 Aug 1998, Matthew Dillon wrote: > I really don't think login.conf is the place to put application-specific > restrictions. > > -Matt
