NAME

login − set user name

SYNOPSIS

­login [ -u ­user ] [ cmd ]

DESCRIPTION

­Login establishes a new name space for a new user and runs a command in that environment.  ­Login fist asks for a user name and challenges the user with a string appropriate for use with a Digital Pathways SecureNet encryption box.  A fresh name space is constructed for the user and ­rc is started.  If ­cmd is given, the arguments ­-c ­cmd are passed to rc; otherwise, an interactive ­rc is started. 

The option ­-u starts the process as ­user and suppresses the user name prompt.
