Looking at the scologin script code, I found this:

        enable)
            if [ $is_mouse_val -eq 0 ]
            then
                dspmsg $CATNAME -s 1 15 'Enabling scologin ... ' >&2
                STATE=disable
                rm -f $INITD
                echo $SCL > $INITD
                mkinittab
                STATE=
                dspmsg $CATNAME -s 1 9 'done.\n' >&2
                configure start
            else
                dspmsg $CATNAME -s 1 14 'Scologin: mouse needs to be
configured.\n' >&2
            fi
            ;;

    When I try scologin enable I get the error in the else section. So, how
do I change the value of is_mouse_val ?
    Thanks in advance,
