The version of the login that is part of the logdaemon package provides much more complete logging via syslogd and additional access control mechanisms. The logdaemon package supports one-time passwords or authentication with securenet tokens. For more information, refer to the logdaemon documentation. Changing the login program can affect the operation of your system.
Problems can arise when application programs expect specific login features.
For example, the -p option, which preserves the previous environment, is ignored by the Solaris version of this login software. You should carefully test the logdaemon version of login with current applications in an isolated test environment before installing it in your operational system. This section describes how to install and configure the login version that is part of the logdaemon package, version 5.6, on the Sun Solaris operating system, version 2.x. After unpacking the logdaemon distribution, select the login subdirectory. Build the login binary.
