I am considering developing on the OSX platform and had questions before
I proceed.
My company is considering opening a cyber cafe full of Macs. I would
like to develope a GUI application that either ran during or prior-to
the login manager (or maybe even replaced it). We would like to use a
card reader to accept user credentials (possibly from a credit card)
create the user then log them in all based on the magnetic strip.
I was told that it is not easy to replace the login manager since it is
compiled into the system, but I know this is easy on other Unix like
systems (GDM, XDM, KDM). Is this claim accurate?
So if this scenerio is possible I am very interested in pursuing
development for this platform. So again my questions are:
Can we develope a GUI application that runs during or prior-to the
login manager? Or can it be replaced?
Thanks,
Dannie
