All the login(1) flags you mention are properly documented in its Leopard man page. In a nutshell:

I am feeling stupid. I read this man page on a machine where I had thought I had purged all the old Tiger man pages the Leopard installer left there, but this one had apparently escaped the cleaning action.

So I agree the questionable flag is indeed -l, but it doesn't seem to me like some kind of KGB dark sekret. Also:


$[jmpp @MacBookPro: MacPorts](666/0,1) -> login -pflq login: jmpp

I tried to run it as root (via sudo) and got

login: PAM Error (line 396): Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session


So, in conclusion, login(1)'s -l flag works for me without using the _vprocmgr_move_subset_to_user() symbol, but /usr/bin/screen still clobbers my PATH.... /me scratches head!

Hope these help as cues to further research ;-) Regards,...

You are right. So the only remaining suspect is the _vprocmgr_move_subset_to_user() function, apparently coming from launchd.
