login script

[chetana07]

can login script be kept any where else other than .profile so that no one can change it in HP-UX 11.11i?
Any reply will be helpful.

It doesn't matter where it is kept if the permissions are not set properly to restrict access.

Hello,

You can put the file containing the login commands anywhere you want, and then source the file from the user's .profile (e.g. '. /etc/profile-accounting'). Alternatively,
you could just add the commands to /etc/profile, or conditionally source the file based on a check of the current user in /etc/profile. Make sure the file and the directory containing it has restricted write permission.
