Hi All,
I’ve been preparing our development system for a major system wide series of
upgrades… and was hoping to finally get rid of Watcom 9.52… but, after
recompiling a custom mgetty utility with Watcom 10.6, I’ve discovered that
setlogin() doesn’t seem to work with 10.6. I’ve verified that it’s in the
unix3r.lib, but it doesn’t do anything except return -1. What’s the deal
here? Is there a replacement or special library I need to link with?
-Rob
OK… More info…
I found the instructions in the Knowledge Base for how to build a phlogin
replacement and tried the struct _proc_session message thingie. It doesn’t
seem to work either. Obviously there has to be a way to do this or all the
standard login, rlogin, telnet, etc. utilities wouldn’t work.
Please tell me how?
TIA
-Rob

Nevermind 
I figured it out. I was setting sid wrong in the proc message. It would
be nice if someone fixed setlogin() though 
Here’s the code that works, incase anyone is interested…
#include <sys/kernel.h>
#include <sys/proc_msg.h>
…
static int sid_name( const char *name )
{
struct _proc_session ps;
u_short s = 0;
memset( &ps, 0, sizeof( ps ) );
ps.type = _PROC_SESSION;
ps.subtype = _PROC_SUB_ACTION1;
ps.sid = getsid( getpid( ) );
strncpy( ps.name, name, 16 );
Send( PROC_PID, &ps, &s, sizeof( ps ), sizeof( s ) );
return( s );
}
