To be precise, it's a package of *my* account login scripts and files... I created the package and accompanying installation scripts so I'd have a convenient way of transporting my preferred login methodology to all the systems I need. Once the package was created, I figured there wasn't any harm in letting others peak at it. The scripts here are supposed to be portable as is, with no local tweaking necessary. At least, I've done my best to ensure that *I* don't have to tweak them on any of the systems on which I use them. Consequently, the emphasis is on lowest-common-denominator methods of doing things, and generalizing what I'm doing as often as possible. Unfortunately, a few of the configuration files here can't be written to be completely portable. Consequently, to install this pacakage of login scripts, you need to go through the normal routine of: $ ./configure $ make $ make install Any copies of the files in this package that already exist in your home directory will be moved to "file.OLD". The "kl-install" script has options to control this, and most other aspects of its behavior. Execute: $ kl-install -h to get help text that explains these options. If you actually use this package, or any parts of it, I welcome feedback. Steven Knight knight@baldmt.com
