Subject: Unusual login requirement
I am trying to figure out how to implement an unusual login requirement
and haven't found a good approach yet. What I need is to have a
specific user id that when it is logged in it executes a specific
script and then immediately logs out. Basically what it needs to do is
run a make that builds a CD from a bunch of files and then burns the
CD. Obviously a blank CD would need to be in the burner first. I
don't want a general login as this would be used by a person who should
not have access to the system. I just need him to be able to burn a CD
frequently.
My first throught was to create a script and set it as the shell in the
passwd file and add it to /etc/shells. Is that the best approach? I
am not concerned about the user breaking out of the script as he is
trusted. I just don't want to create a regular user account for him.
The server is running FreeBSD 4.6. Thanks,

If you use bash, you can create your script, start it in the .profile and
have exit directly below it. That way, when the script finishes, it will
exit out. Also, even though this is not a concern for you, this is a
safeguard should they break out of the script, it kills the session too.
