- Well, in fact I wrote my own login to do just that. In the process though,
- I threw out bits I don't use, like the -f and -p flags from poe's login.
-
- I also made it run setuid root, so that I can do "login username" from the
- shell prompt instead of su.
-
- So, it may not be to everyone's liking, but I'll email the source to anyone
- who asks.
