                     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.
