About the login shell

2002-08-19 Thread Moritz Schulte
Hi, I want to start this thread, because I think there is something wrong with the GNU default login method. The question about the sense of the login shell should maybe asked again at this time. What are the advantages and, which is IMHO even more important, what are the disadvantages of it?
