Re: CmdSN during login

["Eddy Quicksall" <ESQuicksall@hotmail.com>]

But, what if someone does this without setting the Immediate bit? What would
one do?

What is wrong with just making the CmdSN not run during login? It seems like
it was an arbitrary choice in the first place since it was originally
optional and not using it actually worked.

If CmdSN is stated as only used in FFP, then I don't see any ambiguity.
