- --hheellpp Print a summary of the command-line options
- and exit without performing any logins.
-
- --ll Don't record information about the user in a
- file of logins. The default is to record the
- login and logout in a file of logins used by
- programs like ffiinnggeerr.
-
- --PP _p_o_r_t_N_u_m Use _p_o_r_t_N_u_m as the port number associated
- with this login in the file of logins
- (ignored if the --ll option is given).
-
- --rr Repeat: when a login shell exits, prompt for
- another account and password, and start
- another login shell. The default is for
- llooggiinn to exit as soon as its login shell
- exits.
-
- --dd _d_e_v_i_c_e Use _d_e_v_i_c_e for the login rather than the
- current tty.

- If an extra argument is given, llooggiinn uses that name as the
- name of the user to log in. Otherwise, it prompts for an
- account name. In either case, llooggiinn prompts for a password.
- If the password matches the account, the user is logged in
- and a command shell is run for the user. Information about
- the account, password, home directory, and login shell is
- taken from //eettcc//ppaasssswwdd. If the password does not match the
- account, or the account doesn't exist, llooggiinn will prompt for
- a new account and password.
-
- If _d_e_v_i_c_e is given, then llooggiinn attempts to use it for the
- standard input, standard output, and standard error channels
- associated with the login. If no _d_e_v_i_c_e is given, then
- llooggiinn uses the standard I/O channels provided to it by the
- shell.
-
- Normally, llooggiinn waits for the login shell to exit, which
- signals the end of the login session, and then llooggiinn exits.
- If, however, the --rr switch is given, then llooggiinn will repeat
- itself, asking for another account and password, and running

- another login shell. This will repeat indefinitely. If the
- repeat switch is not given, logins will time out after 60
- seconds if they are not completed.
-
- If the --ll switch isn't given, then llooggiinn will record infor-
- mation about the login and logout in a file for use by pro-
- grams like Finger. The --PP switch is used to indicate which
- of several ports to associate with the login. If --ll is
- given, then no login information is recorded.
