? Hello .
? How can i reserve a tty so only a specific user can login to this 
? tty? 
? My machine is  Sequent running  DYNIX 3.0.14 ?
? I thought about a private version of getty . Is there a 
? other way?

Remember that your shell can be any program. Write one that checks
whether the user is authorized. If not, print a nastygram and exit.
If so, exec the proper shell.

Actually, from the system's point of view, the other user really did
login, but only for a very short while.

? Thanks 
? tom.
