Hey just yesterday i did a clean install of my OS X and im trying to use terminal but it seems as though i cant type, when i open it this shows up:

login: illegal option -- m
usage: login [-pq] [-h hostname] [username]
login -f [-lpq] [-h hostname] [username [prog [arg ...]]]

[Process completed]

there is a cursor flashing after process completed but i cant type anything. Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks.
