Login scripts

[Mike Frost]

Where are all the possible locations for a login script (aside from the
default behavior). And speaking of default - does the default behavior
include mapping a drive letter to each volume?

I've inherited some 3.11 and 3.12 machines which were configured by
people who are long gone, and now I get to play Columbo.

Thanks,

Mike

The primary location is available via Syscon -- if you log in with supervisor rights and
is attached to the server itself. That script will process as written, and AFTER it does,
if a particular use has a script, then it will process. The user scripts are available in
Syscon for each particular user.

The default script will not map volumes in addition sys.

Barry,

The users do not have individual login scripts, or at least this is what SYSCON tells me. When
I go to look at the login script for any user, it tells me "Logon script does not exist".

Where should I now look for a script? I'm also interested in finding where any group login
scripts are located since the login behavior is affected by which group they belong to, i.e.,
path settings, drive mappings, etc.

Thanks again,

Mike

Hi Mike,

The default can be accessed via the syscon utility. Each individual may have
a login script as well and that is accessed through the syscon utility also.
No drives are mapped unless they are done so in a login script (except for
the normal defaults)

There are no group login scripts. There is the system script
(available for editing thru syscon) and - if there is no user script
and if the system script does not end with the EXIT command - the
default script which can't be edited.

The DEFAULT login script can't be accessed at all.

Dave,

Found it! Oddly enough, the system login script does not end with EXIT,
yet it executes.

Can you tell me where the system login script file itself is located? I'd
imagine it's in the SYS somewhere. I'd like to be able to edit it outside
of syscon if I can help it.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike,

It's in the public directory. NET$LOG.DAT

Hi Dave,

You're right. I meant the system login script. Net$log.dat <sigh>

[Dave Kearns-NSCV]

he System script always executes. If it doesn't end with an EXIT and
if there is no personal login script for a user, then the default
script (which is part of the login.exe program) executes.
