NCDLOGIN(1)              USER COMMANDS                NCDLOGIN(1)



NAME
     ncdlogin - NCD login chooser

SYNOPSIS
     rsh hostname login [-d display] [-n  tcp|ncdnet]  [-h  host-
     name] [-i] [-s]

     rlcexec login [ option ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     The ncdlogin program queries the network for available hosts
     which  will allow an X session login via the XDMCP protocol.
     It then displays a Motif user interface listing  the  avail-
     able  hosts.   The  user  may select a host from the list or
     type in an alternate hostname.  ncdlogin will  then  attempt
     to start an X session on that host.

OPTIONS
     The following options can be used with ncdlogin:

     -d display
          This option specifies the name of the X server to  use.
          The default is to use hostname:0.0.

     -h hostname
          This option specifies which host ncdlogin should try to
          connect  to, rather than waiting for the user to choose
          a host from the menu.

     -n network
          This option specifies which type  of  network  protocol
          ncdlogin  should  use  to connect to the selected host.
          Currently supported protocols are "TCP"  and  "NCDnet."
          The  default  is "TCP," unless a hostname explicitly in
          NCDnet format is entered.

     -i   This option does not apply over NCDnet connections.

     -s   This option indicates that requests  to  the  X  server
          should  be sent synchronously for debugging, instead of
          asynchronously.  It should not normally  be  used  when
          running ncdlogin.
