2.0;siologin (SIO_line login),revision 2.0, 83/04/28
usage:  SIOLOGIN dev_name [[-DIALIN] [-N name]  prog [ args...]]


usage:  SIOLOGIN dev_name [[-DIALIN] [-N name]  prog [ args...]]

SIOLOGIN listens to an sio line, invokes the login sequence and if the login
is successful, runs the program,  prog.   If prog is not specified,  /com/sh
is invoked.  Dev_name  is  the sio device descriptor  pathname and  must  be
specified.  Options, if specified, must precede the prog and its arguments.

SIOLOGIN MUST BE MADE A MANAGER WITHIN THE LOGIN PROTECTED SUBSYSTEM or it
will not work.  (cf: 'help login window' and read the protected subsystems
documentation).

SIOLOGIN is most useful in conjunction with SIOMONIT.

Options:
   -DIALIN   The  sio line connection  is remote.   If  the  line is remote,
             SIOLOGIN asks for an access password before invoking the login
             sequence.  The access password is a  single  string  read from
             `node_data/siologin_access.  Also for remote  lines,  SIOLOGIN
             waits for carrier detect and hangs up after the invoked program
             returns.   If the connection is local, siologin waits for a cr
             before beginning the login sequence.   SIOLOGIN  logs  invalid
             login attempts in `node_data/siologin_log.

   -N name   specifies the  name  to give the process.  (Takes  precedence
             over the cp option -n when siologin is cp'd  directly instead
             of through siomonit.)
