Hi All I have a problem which is crucial for people using kde and gnome. All our computers have some extra code in their /etc/zshenv file which delimits which people can use which machines. Essentialy it runs like this if ! fgrep -x "$LOGNAME" $LABDIR/lab2.5 ; then and some more code.. So if the logname is not in the file lab2.5 for example, the user cannot log in. There is no .zshenv in the user's home directory which would override this file, and everyone uses zsh - which means that /etc/zshenv is always consulted upon login - or so I thought. Apparently kde and gnome (unlike fvwm95) do not consult the /etc/zshenv file because under kde and gnome anyone can login to any machine without these checks being made. I had a look in the startkde script to see if I could make a reference to source /etc/zshenv there, but that does not work either. If I want to have people use kde or gnome, I really have to source /etc/zshenv to control which person uses which machine. Anyone knows how I can make kde and gnome source /etc/zshenv? Or, alternatively, where in kde and gnome startup files I can place the same lines of code that checks which people can use which machines? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
