- IRIX does not have the 4.3BSD "wheel" stuff.
-
- Instead, it might be effective to do something in /.login like noticing
- that $REMOTEHOST is set but $REMOTEUSER=UNKNOWN, and quit. (That assumes
- the objection is to telnet but not ftp, rexec, rsh, or rlogin.)
-
- If the DNSMIM board has a directly connected tty port, and the objection
- is to login's over the network, it might be effective to have /.login
- choke if `tty` is not that port.
