Hi, I posted regarding this a few days ago, but never got a reply-- so
I thought I'd try asking my question in a different way:
With Tiger, I started my xterm app by doing the following:
xterm -e login -fp <myusername>
This resulted in a window with "last login: bla bla ttys001", and
.bashrc & .bash_profile being newly executed.
With Leopard when I do this, the window is frozen and cannot be
closed, and I have found that it is because of the "-fp".. If I
remove it, the window behaves correctly, however I am prompted with a
password when the window appears.
How can I bypass the needing to enter my password, and why does -fp
cause the window not to be closeable?
No clue -- I just tried that exact command and it works as you
described it working on Tiger. What's your system configuration? OS
version? X11app version?
