Hello to all!
This may be somewhat related to question 2 of my previous mail Re: cd,
.profiles and tcpwrappers.
To rephrase my question, was planning to execute a file accessible to
specified users (with the corresponding configurations) upon login WITHOUT
accessing the user's .profile (considering that it would be a hassle to do
add a command one by one on the user's .profile)
This is what I have in mind for the passwd file..
from:
username::UID:GID:Username_description:home_directory:/usr/bin/ksh
to:
username::UID:GID:user_description:home_directory:/directory/user_setup
where the filename user_setup contains:
command 1
command 2
...
With this setup, for security reasons, such commands/setups that will be
executed will be tamper proof by the user and cannot be modified in one
way or the other as long as the file has a no write permission to others
and the group, but to the owner -- which is root (755 permission) --- and
not like those files found at the user's home directory where they could
be deleted or modified by the user ..
What I would write inside the user_setup file considering that it is
already 755 permissions is:
#user_setup - short script for users
PATH=<pathname>
export PATH
stty dec
tset -I -Q
PS1="`hostname`> "
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$USER
finger localhost
user_login
exit
What would have I to add so that it would execute coz when I tested it
with just this configuration, it seems that it fails to execute and
instead, still execute the shell.
Could someone comment on such move?
Bonn :)
