login icons

[karron at KARRON.MED.NYU.EDU]

Put in your user's home directory a directiry $HOME/.4sight/icons
that contains a file login.icon. This is a sgi format (ipaste) picture
that pandora will put up at login time. Usually, you take a photograph,
scan it, and convert it to ipaste format. When you are happy with how
it looks, name it and place it as I have said. Logout to see your pix in
pandora. If you don't have a scanner, ask around and see who has. It
would be a neat service if someone would make login icons from photographs
for folk on the net. If I get a scanner, I would do it. What I now do it
use some icons shipped with the system.
