Hello Again, Actually I updated the /etc/ttys file and add my program instead of getty. However, after boot, there was still OpenBSD login prompt before my program started.
On the other hand, I tried chpass -s $myprogram $user, but still I'm faced with the same problem again, there was OpenBSD login prompt.. In short, I want to disable OpenBSD login prompt and execute my program. If user exits this external program, my program should run again etc. ---- On Thu, 21 May 2020 01:53:29 +0200 Jeff Joshua Rollin <j...@jeffjoshua.club> wrote ---- On Wed, 2020-05-20 at 17:00 -0500, Edgar Pettijohn wrote: > On Wed, May 20, 2020 at 09:50:17PM + > > > > I believe /etc/ttys controls getty, which may or not help.

That way you can use OpenBSD's login authentication, and login automatically runs the program when the user logs in; when the user quits the program they are automatically logged out. Provided there's no way to execute a shell from within the program, they therefore can't execute arbitrary code once logged in. It's easy to add a user for this single purpose: just add the user as normal, and specify $myprogram as the shell. Jeff.
