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. SEE ALSO rc(1), auth(8) Page 1 Plan 9 (printed 4/19/24)
