LOGIN(8)                                                 LOGIN(8)

     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.
