.TH LOGON 1 .SH NAME logon \- log on to Inferno .SH SYNOPSIS [ .B wm/wm ] .B wm/logon [ .B -l ] [ .BI "-n nsfile" ] [ .BI "-u user" ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Logon logs a user in to the Inferno environment. It requires .IR wm (1) to be started first. If no .I user name is specified by the .B -u option, .I logon displays a login panel to prompt for one. The user name must have a directory .BI /usr/ user, which will become the current directory. (Otherwise, .I logon will display a diagnostic panel and prompt again.) The user name is written to .B /dev/user (see .IR cons (3)), which is the name presented on subsequent attaches to file servers. .PP Normally, .I logon expects keyboard input to provide a name, but if the .B -l option is given, .I logon displays a list of the names in .BR /usr , allowing one to be selected using a mouse or touch screen. .PP Once the current directory has been set, .I logon creates a new name space for the user using the contents of .I nsfile (default: .BR namespace ), as described in .IR namespace (6). It then starts .IR toolbar (1) to provide the initial application environment. .SH FILES .TF /dev/userxx .TP .B /dev/user Inferno user name .TP .BI /usr/ user .IR user 's home directory .SH SOURCE .B /appl/wm/logon.b .SH SEE ALSO .IR toolbar (1), .IR wm (1), .IR namespace (6)
