61.0. "Directly logging into cm" by KERNEL::CARLETONL (The Software Lifeguard) Wed Mar 17 1993 12:46

I'm trying to set up a user on my CM system that will drop anyone logging 
into it into the console manager screen. 

It works as far as getting the user to the prompt inside CM, but whe they 
type anything, the console disconnects. 

I don't really understand why this is happening, does anyone else know?

Cheers

    Les,
    
       I take that you've entered the user successfully into the database,
    specifying which system the user can access and then restarted CM so that 
    it will reread the database?

If I su to the user, I can execute cm no problem. But its only when I use
/usr/bin/cm in the shell field of the password file do I get loging out 
problems.

	Funny that, I get the same problem

	but only on LAT connections; try ip and/or decnet.

	Be interested to know what the problem is, I haven't spent
	a lot of time (any time!) investigating yet.

IP's okay ... I can't test decnet (the server concerned doesn't run it)

I've gotten around the problem for the moment by having /usr/bin/cm in the
.login file of the account concerned and using /bin/csh. However this does
lead to a bit of a security hole since nobody's supposed to be able to 
get to a shell prompt on this server

Les,
    try your method in .4 but put onintr - at the start of the .login file. Your
user cannot use CTRL C to get out. 

Does that help LES??
