i was trying to install a script follow these instructions at login by creating a loginhook. however, i must have somehow messed up editing the script that was called.

i used:
prog=(/usr/local/bin/synergyc -f hostname)

when it should have been something like this:
prog=(/usr/local/bin/synergyc -n $(hostname -s) ip-address-of-server)

since i didnt know that $ was a passed variable and went and edited with the hostname. now i can log-in but nothing happens; it just stays at the default apple login background/wallpaper.

i dont have any other accounts available on the system either, and i didn't enable root access. what can i do? i've got access to pc, that i'm typing from right now.

thanks

managed to solve this problem over here, a PC forum no less. i guess i'll always be a pc user (and those ppl on pc forums are up at ridiculous hours of the night).
