No big deal. Disable telnet, rlogin, etc. Turn ssh on as your remote maintainence entrance. Edit /etc/inittab: change the line that says 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 to 1:2345:respawn:/bin/your_program your_args or 1:2345:respawn:/bin/su -c '/path/your_program your_args' - userid if you don't want your program to run as root. Comment out the next five lines if you really don't want login prompts. Mike Stone
