+SYNOPSIS login\b\b\b\b\b_____ [ username [ password ] ]
+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION The login\b\b\b\b\b_____ command
+is used when a user initially
+signs onto UNIX, or it may be used at any time to change
+from one user to another.
+The latter case is the one summarized above and
+described here.
+See login\b\b\b\b\b_____ (VII) for how to dial up initially.
+
+If login\b\b\b\b\b_____ is invoked without an argument,
+it will ask for a user name, and, if
+appropriate, a password.
+Echoing is turned off (if possible) during the typing of the password,
+so it will not appear on the written record of the
+session.
+.sp
+After a successful login,
+accounting files are updated and
+the user is informed of the
+existence of mailbox
+and message-of-the-day files.
+
+Login is recognized by the Shell
+and executed directly (without forking).
