- Unnecessary. All three supported CLIs check for the logical SYS$SYLOGIN and
- execute the appropriate file if they can find it. Please note: On systems
- that support CLIs other than DCL, you should NOT
- $ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC SYS$SYLOGIN SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
- instead, you should
- $ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC SYS$SYLOGIN SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN
- and have a SYLOGIN.COM for DCL, a SYLOGIN.CMD for MCR, and a SYLOGIN.SH (I
- think) for DECShell in SYS$MANAGER:.
-
- If you've got alternate CLITABLES INSTALLed, you should make sure that none of
- the definitions in them don't break the corresponding SYLOGIN. A user cannot
- use the /TABLES qualifier to use an alternate CLITABLE unless that alternate
- table is INSTALLed.
-
- This takes care of the /CLI and the /TABLES qualifiers for login. The other
- three, /COMMAND, /DISK, and /NEW_PASSWORD have absolutely no affect on
- executing SYS$SYLOGIN.
