I don't know if the commands still exist, but I have a copy of Multiple
USer Actions. It allows you to do things on PreLogin. This may be what
you need. I am including a copy of it with this email. (Obviously, the
list will remove it. If anyone else wants it, email me privately and I
will send it.)
If this doesn't work, I don't believe there is anything that can be
done. At the time Login launches, there is no Finder or Panels running.
So no other program could launch either. Also, programs automatically
quit before Logout, so you could not fire a script from within a certain
user to automatically login as another user.
Hope this helps,
tod
