Instead of login hooks, isn't the correct mechanism going forward a launchd item in /Library/LaunchAgents/ anyway? User-specific, runs at login ... sounds like a login hook to me. *shrug* Another option, of course, would be, perhaps, to make a login-hook that sets the preferences, then knocks itself out. You have to figure out how to make it interoperate with any existing login hook, but that's not an insurmountable obstacle. As a sysadmin who has run Mac environments where local login hooks are blocked via MCX controls in Directory Service nodes, I really hope no-one ever relies on login hooks in a shipping product for the purposes discussed in this thread.
