I missed February due to the craziness and lack of enthusiasm, but I'm back with some more useful stuff:

First off, login screen "Visuallogin/clogin" is configurable to get users you don't want to show off the screen:

The file is /var/sysadm/config/clogin.conf and you can add, in alphabetical orders, users from your passwd file that you don't want shown.

Code:

"/var/sysadm/config/clogin.conf" 16 lines, 520 characters
#       File:  clogin.conf
# This configuration file is modified by configClogin, and read
# by clogin to determine which accounts to show,  etc.
# The syntex of the following is fixed. See sysadm/SaCloginConf.h
# for the correct words.
# '#' is for comment.
# The list of hidden users must be at the end of the file and
# looks like "foo:noshow" for hiding.
home directory must be local
use small window
display faces

# Hide these users (don't show them in clogin).
# Add users after this line.
adm:noshow
bin:noshow
daemon:noshow
demos:noshow
diag:noshow
EZsetup:noshow
guest:noshow
lp:noshow
nuucp:noshow
sgiweb:noshow
sys:noshow
uucp:noshow

This is what mine looks like. To add a login icon. create a directory in your home:

mkdir ~/.icons

The file login.icon will display for your user; The files must be in SGI image library format, and should be 100 by 100 pixels in size or smaller (although larger images will be scaled down automatically).

For adding swap, this is the procedure I follow:

root@passionlip ~ % mkfile -v 2048m /usr/swap
/usr/swap 2147483648 bytes
root@passionlip ~ % swap -a /usr/swap

This will enable the file immediately. To ensure it works next boot:

/usr/swap    swap    swap  pri=3  0  0


Should be added to your /etc/fstab

pwconv is used to enable /etc/shadow, a major security feature. The only issue is, you need to have every account have a password or be locked so it cannot be logged into.

EZSetup should be locked/removed as soon as possible because it has root-wheel permissions, so it can su to root.

Thanks a lot for the tips.
