How to prompt for login on OSX when starting Terminal
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to log back in to unix after logging out. I have a MBPro. If I don't have the window close after exiting, then there is the phrase 'process completed' in brackets with a blinking cursor, but I can't type anything in.
Is it also possible to start the terminal application without having it automatically logging in, and instead require a login to use it?

For a long time, when I type man anything on my Mac, both the manpage header fonts and the background was black, so I had to use my mouse to highlight the manpage output to read it. It was really annoying.
The problem was the same both locally or using the terminal and going ssh somewhere.

A minor nitpick, but I cannot get a statement like:

to actually hush the response. If I don't use the -p option, the response is silent. With it, I always see the response, and I've tried putting the -s in different spots. Is this a known issue, or... (2 Replies)

ncalogd.conf
ncalogd.conf(4) File Formats ncalogd.conf(4)
NAME
ncalogd.conf - NCA logging configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nca/ncalogd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The ncalogd.conf is used to configure Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator ("NCA") logging. The file contains two fields, key and value.
The status key is used to indicate if the user wants to have NCA logging turned on. If the value of status key is enabled, then NCA logging
will be turned on. If the value of the status key is disabled, then NCA logging will not be invoked. The default value is disabled.
The logd_path_name key specifies the absolute pathname of the log file. The log file must be a raw device without a filesystem or a file on
a local file system. The default value is /var/nca/log. logd_path_name can also contain a whitespace-delimited list of values for multiple
log files to a maximum of 16. If you specify multiple log files, you must enclose the list in quotation marks ("). With multiple files, NCA
logging moves to the next file on the list once the file size specified by logd_file_size has been reached. When the last file is full, NCA
logging rotates back to the first file in the list. A pointer to the current log file is stored in /var/nca/current.
The logd_file_size key specifies the value of the file size, in bytes, allowed for each log file specified in by the logd_path_name key.
The default value is 1000000 bytes.
In order to implement changes to the ncalogd.conf file, you will need to stop and start NCA logging or reboot.
NCA stores logs in a binary format. Use the ncab2clf(1) utility to convert the log from a binary format to the Common Log File format.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A Sample ncalogd.conf File
The following is a sample ncalogd.conf file that specifies three log files:
#
# NCA Log Daemon Configuration File
#
status=enabled
logd_path_name="/var/nca/log1 /var/nca/log2 /var/nca/log3"
logd_file_size=1000000
Note that there is no NCA logging daemon. Logging is performed as one of the functions of the NCA software.
FILES
/etc/nca/ncalogd.conf Lists configuration parameters for NCAlogging.
