        !            21: The
        !            22: .I netlogin
        !            23: command sets the login name and password for the specified
        !            24: .I machine
        !            25: in a rather unusual way.
        !            26: The user should type (to the C shell)
        !            27: .IP
        !            28: setenv\ MACH\fImachine\fR\ \(ganetlogin\ \-m\ \fImachine\fR\(ga
        !            29: .LP
        !            30: or (to the default Version 7 ``Bourne'' shell)
        !            31: .IP
        !            32: MACH\fImachine\fR=\(ganetlogin\ \-m\ \fImachine\fR\(ga; export MACH\fImachine\fR
        !            33: .PP
        !            34: to his login shell.  (Note the back-quotes).
        !            35: For example,
        !            36: .IP
        !            37: setenv\ MACHA\ `netlogin\ \-m\ A`
        !            38: .PP
        !            39: will prompt the user for his login name and password on the A machine and
        !            40: .IP
        !            41: setenv\ MACHA\ `netlogin\ \-m\ A \-l\ myname`
        !            42: .PP
        !            43: will prompt the user for the password to account `A:myname'.
        !            44: .PP
        !            45: The 
        !            46: .IR net (\*s)
        !            47: command will read the environment looking for environment variables
        !            48: beginning with ``MACH'' and followed by a valid machine name on the
        !            49: local network.
        !            50: If found it will use that information rather than prompt the user
        !            51: every time he executes a network command.
        !            52: This environment information is ignored if login names and passwords
        !            53: are specified on the command line of network commands using the 
        !            54: .B \-l
        !            55: and 
        !            56: .B \-p

        !            61: This procedure for specifying passwords is somewhat safer than
        !            62: putting the remote passwords in the
        !            63: .I \&.netrc
        !            64: file.
        !            65: The passwords in the environment are encrypted and the environment
        !            66: information is useless after the user logs out.
        !            67: Use the 
        !            68: .IR printenv (\*o)
        !            69: command to see the encrypted password.
