Unix menu program
Faust:
The script will... I suppose you can just put /usr/local/bin/menu_program_thingie in there too but if the user controls it they can kill it off and get a shell too... there must be a workaround I guess... but hey like you said theres an option to get a shell anyway.

BTW if Melbourne wireless network is like Canberras wireless network its run by linux geeks. Why would linux geeks pay for shell acounts that restrict their fun when they can just use their own computers? I mean the ability to have an extra link of anonyminity in the email chain I guess but its not like anyone out there actually secures their sendmail port so why bother?
Faust:
Now if you made it for _fun_ *that* I can understand...
Calum:
hmm, well i have a shell account at grex (that i hardly ever use) for the reason that i can ssh to it from putty in windows (when i am forced to use it), because windows sucks several cocks all at once. grex is shit though for emailing because they block most incoming mail for being in a nonstandard format or some guff. if i really could email from a shell account and feel secure that i would get replies to my email account, then i would use such a shell account.
also, what if there are a lof of XP heads on the network? actually they might not want a shell account either because they have XP and you know, can't see the point of having a command prompt because they are so used to the command prompt being totally useless. one other thing, remember that canberra and melbourne are completely different. i can't see it being the same sort of people using the wireless network in melbourne as in canberra, but then again, they still might all be linux people, who knows.

oh yeah, i forgot we were making this as a program and not a script... well, still all it needs is another line added to the install script with 'chmod 011 /usr/bin/cmenu' and we're set. (that will work won't it?)

hey, linux user? can you post a proper working link to your program please? thank you.
slave:
Sorry, netfirms is a prick. I'll just post the code here.
