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: 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.
