|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
.Op Fl fp
|
|
.Op Fl h Ar hostname
|
|
.Op Ar user
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
utility logs users (and pseudo-users) into the computer system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no user is specified, or if a user is specified and authentication
|
|
of the user fails,
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
prompts for a user name.
|
|
Authentication of users is done via passwords.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is used when a user name is specified to indicate that proper
|
|
authentication has already been done and that no password need be
|
|
requested.
|
|
This option may only be used by the super-user or when an already
|
|
logged in user is logging in as themselves.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
option specifies the host from which the connection was received.
|
|
It is used by various daemons such as
|
|
.Xr telnetd 8 .
|
|
This option may only be used by the super-user.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
discards any previous environment.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option disables this behavior.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/nologin
|
|
exists,
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
dislays its contents to the user and exits.
|
|
This is used by
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
to prevent users from logging in when the system is about to go down.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/fbtab
|
|
exists,
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
changes the protection and ownership of certain devices specified in this
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Immediately after logging a user in,
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
displays the system copyright notice, the date and time the user last
|
|
logged in, the message of the day as well as other information.
|
|
If the file
|
|
.Dq Pa .hushlogin
|
|
exists in the user's home directory, all of these messages are suppressed.
|
|
This is to simplify logins for non-human users, such as
|
|
.Xr uucp 1 .
|
|
.Nm Login
|
|
then records an entry in the
|
|
.Xr wtmp 5
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr utmp 5
|
|
files and executes the user's command interpretor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Login enters information into the environment (see
|
|
.Xr environ 7 )
|
|
specifying the user's home directory (HOME), command interpreter (SHELL),
|
|
search path (PATH), terminal type (TERM) and user name (both LOGNAME and
|
|
USER).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The standard shells,
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sh 1 ,
|
|
do not fork before executing the
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
utility.
