When activating a local shell with a destination of localhost or 127.0.0.1, ZOC actually executes a command and redirects its input and output to the ZOC window. By default /usr/bin/login will be started with parameters which automatically bypass the login prompt (using the currently logged on user). If you prefer another default shell, you can configure it here. If necessary you can add the macro $(USERNAME) to the command if you need to pass the name of the currently logged on user as a parameter. Alternately you can provide a command in shebang format as the destination of a connection (e.g. connect to #!/usr/bin/ssh secure.hogwarts.edu), which will override this option. The default value for this option is /usr/bin/login -p -f $(USERNAME). |
