Stephane,
Thanks for the recommendation.
simple kill(getppid(),SIGKILL) was enough
PS: I believe that installer developers are the most experienced in loginwindow manipulation ;)

Hi,
I have to add disclaimer message accept/decline mechanism to login
process on Leopard.
So far I've found two possible approaches.
1. /Developer/Examples/Security/bannersample
Which is pretty cool but I'd rather prefer user to authenticate
earlier before he accepts the disclaimer notice.
2. Login hook in loginwindow
Which was exactly what I was looking for but I haven't yet managed it to work.
- what I like is that app executed in login hook has root privileges.
- moreover loginwindow waits for the app to close before it goes with
further login process - starts Finder, Dock
The only problem is that I have no idea how to refuse login.
It looks like that returning error code from app doesn't work (i.e.
int main() { return 1;}). Loginwindow ignores it.
Sending events like kAEReallyLogOut, kAEShutDown to loginwindow is
useless because loginwindow is not responding to them at boot.
Am I doing something wrong
like being off-topic AFAIK for this mailing-list?
or there is some other way to force loginwindow to cancel login process.
like killing the loginwindow process?
