LOGON(1)							      LOGON(1)

NAME
       logon - log on to Inferno

SYNOPSIS
       [ wm/wm ] wm/logon [ -l ] [ -n nsfile ] [ -u user ]

DESCRIPTION
       Logon logs a user in to the Inferno environment.	 It requires wm (1) to
       be started first.  If no user name is specified by the -u option, logon
       displays	 a  login  panel to prompt for one.  The user name must have a
       directory /usr/user, which will become the current directory.   (Other‐
       wise,  logon  will  display  a diagnostic panel and prompt again.)  The
       user name is written to /dev/user (see cons(3)), which is the name pre‐
       sented on subsequent attaches to file servers.

       Normally, logon expects keyboard input to provide a name, but if the -l
       option is given, logon displays a list of the names in  /usr,  allowing
       one to be selected using a mouse or touch screen.

       Once the current directory has been set, logon creates a new name space
       for the user using the contents	of  nsfile  (default:  namespace),  as
       described  in  namespace(6).   It then starts toolbar(1) to provide the
       initial application environment.

FILES
       /dev/user
	      Inferno user name

       /usr/user
	      user's home directory
