Thanks to Darryl Cook, Dr. Thomas Blinn, and James Sainsbury for their
responses. It was James Sainsbury that came up with the easiest solution.
Basicly his suggestion was to write a C program to execute the script that
would normally be executed in this accounts .profile and place the c
programs path in the shell portion of the accounts /etc/passwd entry. I did
this and now when anyone su, su - , logs in direct, it will not take them to
a command line. The source code is as follows:
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
system("/usr/local/bin/script"); /* place script you want to
execute here */
}
Thanks again,
Chris

Admins,
I have an account which I have set up on a 5.1 UNIX machine which
when executing the accounts profile ( via a direct login or a su - $USER )
will execute a shell script for them. However, when someone executes a su
$USER from the command line will take them into a shell prompt. Now I am
wanting anyone who uses this account to have to login directly and not have
the functionality of su, however I am not sure how to disable this for one
user. Any ideas? I will summarize.
TIA,
