As of Tiger, it's possible to write plug-ins to the authorization
system -- see <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/
Reference/AuthorizationPluginRef/index.html>. Problem is, that's not
the same thing as the login window. In this case, "authorization"
refers to those little panels that pop up asking for your password to
perform some privileged operation.
There isn't any real mechanism to customize the login interface.
What developers currently have to do is to rewrite the entire
loginwindow application, which has obvious problems and is more work
than you had in mind.

So as I understand correctly Crontab is used to execute almost all
kinds of shell commands even if no user is logged on.
But I think it would be difficult, to execute applications that
were written on my own (e.g. the recognition) especially when I
need to use hardware components.
Does anyone know if there is something else for writting plugins
for the authentication mechanism? Or where I can ask?
Thanks,

I'm not 100% shure about this but it is not possible with applescript.
if you run a script at the loginwindow the programming needs to be
non-interface programming, dialogs and system events are not working
here. I use Crontab and when the login window is in my screen then the
script is still executable and make backups to an external
harddrive. I
tried an display dialog first but the script was only working when I
did not aks for help from any application. So checking new files on
hadr drive, removing old files, copying new files and writing log
files
will be done by do shell script commands.

Hi,
I want to login to my Mac OS automatically by means of an
authentication system (e.g. speech recognition, finger print, etc.).
Is it possible to to run an application (written on one's one) which
executes the recognition
although only the login screen is seen so that the recognition is
accomplished and with the recognition results the recognized user is
logged in?
Thanks,
Peter Vermeer
