A/UX: How To Get Classic Terminal Logon Screen at Launch (8/94)


Is it possible to launch A/UX so that a classic terminal logon screen comes
up without having to use the Macintosh logon screen?

Yes, and here's how:

* Modify the /etc/inittab file to have the "co" entry execute a
different shell script (for instance /etc/unixlogin below) instead of
/etc/loginrc (executes the Macintosh Login)

or

* Make the /mac/bin/Login program nonexecutable or nonexistent by renaming
it. The /etc/loginrc shell script checks to see if /mac/bin/Login is
executable. If not, it will execute "/etc/getty" instead of
/mac/bin/Login.

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/unixlogin
/bin/screenrestore
exec /etc/getty console co_9600
