This doesn't solve any of the problems we are discussing. This can't
be modified per user. It runs as root so I wouldn't allow it to invoke
a user script. It doesn't have any environment passed so we couldn't
modify defaults set elsewhere. Its environment isn't passed on, so
even if we set an environment variable, it wouldn't be passed to any
other process. Since it's invoked as root, and the tty (console) is
still owned by root, it may be difficult to even determine reliably
what user is going to be running. (There's probably an way; I didn't
hit the _Mac_OS_for_Unix_Geeks_ book.)
If you are going to play with this, you probably need to know that it
isn't launched in a shell: you must have the #!/bin/sh or whatever, or
else the program crashes, leaving your display stuck like it is trying
to log in the user. [Sounds like it isn't handling ENOEXEC from
execve(2).]
