The BNR Standard Login (A Login Configuration Manager)


Christopher Rath

Abstract

Several years ago, Bell-Northern Research wrote a login configuration system for their UNIX workstation user community. While it performed adequately at its release, it was very quickly overcome by the user community's needs. This configuration system, called the BNR Standard Login, was recently re-written. This paper describes its past and present states; making a case for the continued existence of a login configuration manager in BNR's ever-expanding multi-vendor UNIX workstation network.
