10.0;l (login), revision 1.0, 88/02/22
l (login) log in to a node
usage: l id [group [org]]
DESCRIPTION
The l command allows you to log in to a node. It is valid only at the
beginning of a session in reponse to the "login:" prompt. Typing the l
command after logging in causes an error. After you enter the l command,
the system requests a password. If you specify either the ID or the
password incorrectly, the system displays an error message and the
correct format of the l command, and you can try again.
If you forget your password, you must contact your system administrator,
who can assign a new password to you. The administrator cannot tell you
your current password, because those are encrypted within the system and
are not human-readable.
The 'l' character itself is optional when preceded by the "login:"
prompt. You can omit it and simply type your ID if you want.
When you have logged in successfully, the system sets the working
directory to your login home directory, which may be anywhere in your
file hierarchy that you please. The system administrator for your
network establishes the login home directory name when your account is
created.
ARGUMENTS
You can separate the id, group, and org arguments either by periods (as
shown), or by blanks.
id (required) Specify the user ID assigned to you by the system
administrator when your access privileges were
established.
group (optional)
Specify the group ID associated with this user ID. User
IDs may or may not have group IDs, depending on how the
access privileges were set up.
org (optional) Specify the organization ID associated with this user and
group ID. Again, this may or may not be necessary for any
particular user ID.
