>Description:
Like most other SVR4 systems, Irix prints it's Message Of the Day by some
extra magic in /etc/cshrc. However, since the Irix compiler doesn't define
__SVR4, login doesn't know about this behavior and prints the MOTD for you.
Thus, you get the MOTD twice.
>How-To-Repeat:
Using login.krb5 as a login replacement on Irix systems.
>Fix:
This patch seems to do it:
--- login.c.orig Wed Nov 6 13:50:55 1996
+++ login.c Wed Nov 6 13:51:36 1996
