I've made some small changes to the xlogin resources that add
a menu option to run /usr/ucb/w in an xterm without logging in,
because I've occasionally wanted this kind of functionality.
(especially when I log into a machine and find 4 people already on it
:) The only changes from the stuff in /afs/sipb/project/xlogin/src is
to the file Xlogin. The changes are minimal, basically just adding an
entry and having it run xterm -e whos_on.csh, which is a simple script
to run w, then wait for the return key. A copy of the src dir with
the changes is in /afs/sipb/user/yandros/Projects/Xlogin. To try them
out, just do:
/etc/athena/xlogin -config /afs/sipb/user/yandros/Projects/Xlogin &
I tested this pretty thoroughly on oliver today, with no problems. At
this point I'd like to see what people think about using this on the
office machiens, or at least a few of them (just running it on hodge &
podge was suggested).
Thanks,
