That will depend on the user's shell; the code is written for csh and 
will have to be changed for sh or bash.

That would say the autologin entry isn't right.  Incidentally, the 
built-in test(1) command can conflict with use of the word "test", so 
it's best to use something else.  At least for filenames, it might not 
be a problem here.
