        !            15: DESCRIPTION
        !            16:      The _n_e_t_l_o_g_i_n command sets the login name and password for
        !            17:      the specified _m_a_c_h_i_n_e in a rather unusual way.  The user
        !            18:      should type (to the C shell)
        !            19: 
        !            20:          setenv MACH_m_a_c_h_i_n_e `netlogin -m _m_a_c_h_i_n_e`
        !            21: 
        !            22:      or (to the default Version 7 ``Bourne'' shell)
        !            23: 
        !            24:          MACH_m_a_c_h_i_n_e=`netlogin -m _m_a_c_h_i_n_e`; export MACH_m_a_c_h_i_n_e
        !            25: 
        !            26:      to his login shell.  (Note the back-quotes).  For example,
        !            27: 
        !            28:          setenv MACHA `netlogin -m A`
        !            29: 
        !            30:      will prompt the user for his login name and password on the
        !            31:      A machine and
        !            32: 
        !            33:          setenv MACHA `netlogin -m A -l myname`
        !            34: 
        !            35:      will prompt the user for the password to account `A:myname'.
        !            36: 
        !            37:      The _n_e_t(1) command will read the environment looking for
        !            38:      environment variables beginning with ``MACH'' and followed
        !            39:      by a valid machine name on the local network.  If found it
        !            40:      will use that information rather than prompt the user every
        !            41:      time he executes a network command.  This environment infor-
        !            42:      mation is ignored if login names and passwords are specified
        !            43:      on the command line of network commands using the -l and -p
        !            44:      options or in the ._n_e_t_r_c file.
        !            45: 
        !            46:      This procedure for specifying passwords is somewhat safer
        !            47:      than putting the remote passwords in the ._n_e_t_r_c file.  The
        !            48:      passwords in the environment are encrypted and the environ-
        !            49:      ment information is useless after the user logs out.  Use
        !            50:      the _p_r_i_n_t_e_n_v(1) command to see the encrypted password.
