How do I logout?

Static-Puls #1 / 6	How do I logout? We're trying to come up with a script at work that will let people login via telnet and change their password. No fuss, no muss. Basically, people will telnet it, the 'login sequence' (.bashrc) will run and prompt the to change the password. The snag we've hit, however, is we're unable to get the script to logout. We've tried 'exit', 'logout', and even the nonexistant 'close'. Nothing has worked. Can anyone suggest an idea? Thanks.

Phineas T. Barnha #2 / 6	How do I logout? news:BnEF6.27615$u7.12697293@e3500-chi1.usenetserver.com... Why would they want a Unix account if all they can do is change their password? Try implementing it as a function defined in your profile. E.g. function MyFunction { passwd logout

Benjamin.Altma #4 / 6	How do I logout? Do you mean that the user has to log out manually from the telnet session? The script won't regain control until after the telnet session has ended and at this time it is probably involving a manual exit or logout by the user. In any case how are you getting passwd to be run? Is that a part of the login process on the machine you are loging in to or do the users have to run it themselves?

Jon DeCam #5 / 6	How do I logout? If you want to make the user only have the ability to change their password when they log in, you can change their shell to /usr/bin/passwd in the /etc/passwd file. -Jon
