NAME

logintool − graphic login interface

AVAILABILITY

Sun386i systems only. 

DESCRIPTION

logintool is invoked by getty(8) to display a full screen window for logging in.  It cannot be run from the shell.  It is more attractive than the traditional ‘login: ’ prompt, and also provides help for the person without a username and information about the workstation. 

logintool is noramlly invoked on the console by getty(8), and works only on a frame buffer. 

If the newlogin policy in the policies YP map is set to unrestricted, then logintool may create new user accounts in the Yellow Pages.  The account resides on the local system if it is diskful, or on the system’s boot server if the local system is diskless.
