Nice.  Changes to login scripts always seems a lot like screwing with
nature - one wrong move and there is a pestilence upon the land, so ...
not being keen on riverstone myself and since rivlogin was contributed,
I am curious about it's relation to "Enterasys".  It's not clear to me
what enterasys is; or if changes to rivlogin will alienate it.

Andrew (fort), perhaps you can take this?
