What is slightly confusing is that the hook paths must be written to root's defaults file and loginwindow must be restarted after the defaults are updated. You can do that by rebooting. It has also been reported that logging in as "console" and then logging out will also cause loginwindow to see the new hooks, but I haven't verified that. I use loginwindow hooks to completely darken my screen when I log out and rebrighten it when I log in.

Or you can type "exit" to username, and no password. By the way, LoginHook is broken on 2.0. It is fixed in 2.1. Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ]

It is fixed in 2.1. Please be more explicit. I am currently using a script via LoginHook under 2.0 and it works correctly for me. Exactly what is broken?

The problem I had was that specifying LoginHook broke something in lowinwindow or Windowserver so that the next user who tries to login get kicked out of login process and put immediately back to loginwindow. I had this problem using MOTD as LoginHook program. This situation required restarting windowserver by typing "exit" every time you login. As I said, this is now fixed in 2.1. NeXT's announcement for Software Release 2.1 also mentions of fix to LoginHook, although it doesn't say specifically what the broken behavior was. Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ]

The root user must do the dwrite since loginwindow is run by root. The default shell is sh.
