7.0;l (login) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/15
L (LOGIN) *DM* -- Log in to a node.
usage: l id [proj [org]] [-p] [-h]


FORMAT

  L id [proj [org]] [options]


  The L command allows you to log on to a node.  It is valid only at the
  beginning of a session in reponse to the "Please log in:" prompt.  Typing
  the L command after logging on causes an error.  After entering the
  L command, the system will request 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 may try again.

  If you forget your password, you will have to contact your System Admin-
  istrator, who can assign a new password to you.  The administrator will NOT
  be able to tell you your current password, since those are encrypted within
  the system and are not human-readable.

  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 login home directory name is first established by the
  System Administrator for your network when your account is created.  You may
  change it using the -H option (below).


ARGUMENTS

  The id, proj, and org arguments may be separated either by blanks (as shown),
  or by periods.

  id
  (required)       Specify the user id assigned to you by the System
                   Administrator when your access privileges were established.

  proj
  (optional)       Specify project id associated with this user id.  User ids
                   may or may not have project ids, depending on how the access
                   privileges were set up.

  org
  (optional)       Specify organization id associated with this user and
                   project id.  Again, this may or may not be necessary for
                   any particular user id.


OPTIONS

  -P               Set new password.  After you have successfully logged on
                   with the old password, the system will prompt you to set
                   a new password.  The password may be any combination of
                   ASCII characters up to a maximum of 8 characters.
                   (Note: Some network configurations may require the password
                   to be at least 6 characters long for added security.  Check
                   with your local System Administrator to see if this
                   requirement has been implemented on your network.)

  -H               Set new home directory.  After you have logged on
                   successfully, the system will prompt you to establish
                   a new home directory for login.  Enter the desired pathname.
                   This is the directory which you enter by default each time
                   you log on.
