IRIX does not have the 4.3BSD "wheel" stuff. Instead, it might be effective to do something in /.login like noticing that $REMOTEHOST is set but $REMOTEUSER=UNKNOWN, and quit. (That assumes the objection is to telnet but not ftp, rexec, rsh, or rlogin.) If the DNSMIM board has a directly connected tty port, and the objection is to login's over the network, it might be effective to have /.login choke if `tty` is not that port.
