- Some versions of login support a pri= entry in the GECOS field
- of the /etc/passwd file. I am pretty sure that AIX v3.2 doesn't,
- but I wrote that code so long ago I forget ...

- You might try requesting a DCR to have that support added as I
- doubt that any of the freely available login packages will ever
- support AIX v3.2.
