Thanks for peoples comments...I haven't tried just callin login but I would guess it wouldn't work as login wouldn't open they vty and do all the getty magic. I have manged to hack getty and I have two new versions: 1) allows you to type in any name and you will be logged in as them without providing a password. 2) just runs my shell which was the original idea. If anyone wants the diffs (I just modified getty straight from the 2.1.6 source) just mail me but I don't imagine there will be much demand :-) My next task I think will be to try and get telnetd to give my shell without anymore prompting when I telnet from my mac. Unfortuantely telnetd appears to call login differently to getty. rlogin would accomplish this but I don't have an rlogin client :-( Andrew
