USING A MENU FILE TO LOG IN

If you are going to use MarxMenu to log in instead of Novell's utilities, you will want to print out the sample file LOGIN.MNU on your MarxMenu disk and study it. Your STARTUP.BAT file might look like this:


 @Echo Off
 SET MXCMD=LOGIN
 MarxMenu Login
 %MXCMD%

If MarxMenu works correctly, it will change the environment variable named %MXCMD% to point to a file that it creates. If for some reason it fails (you make a mistake in the login), it will execute Novell's login and let you get in and fix it.

You will have to modify the LOGIN.MNU for your system. The one that I supply will not work on your system. It is to be used as a sample only and provide ideas for your login menu.

One word of caution. After modifying this menu, always run MARXCOMP LOGIN to compile it. Otherwise, if you boot up into it you won't have enough access rights to recompile automatically.
