- Why not define DisplayManager*startup in your xdm-config to run a script
- that checks the shell of the user. If it's 'disablesh' or something
- pop up a message and quit.
-
- The same idea can be used for updating utmp and wtmp files. You'll need
- to define DisplayManager*reset to do the logout though.
