   The custom login button asks for the name of a cshell script.
   If it only accepts cshell scripts it is horribly broken.  It if can
   execute any command, it should say so.

I agree completely with this.  First of all, how can it possibly
enforce this without explicitly starting csh.  If it uses some
form of exec, then all it can recognize is an executable.
