NAME

       gpe-login - - login window for the G Palmtop Environment.

SYNOPSIS

       gpe-login

DESCRIPTION

       gpe-login is the main login manager for the G Palmtop Environment (GPE). The gpe-login window supports the display of the owner information
       added through gpe-ownerinfo and setting a background image for the login window. The gpe-login package also implements the 'Lock display on
       suspend' feature.

       This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

OPTIONS

       --autolock
	   Lock screen when device goes to suspend, not after some time has passed in order to protect the screen upon resume. (Can also be set
	   directly in the GUI configuration by selecting "lock display on suspend" in the Login Setup.)

       --geometry
	   X geometry specification (see "X" man page).

       --hard-keys
	   Provides support for using the ipaq's front panel buttons to enter your password for gpe-login. This behaviour is enabled with the new
	   "--hard-keys" command-line option, which you can pass in from /etc/Xinit.d/99gpe-login.

	   To use this facility, your password currently needs to be four characters long and consist only of the characters 1234NESW. 1234 are
	   bound to the four circular function keys; NESW are bound to the four major directions on the joypad.

	   There is no "delete" or "enter" in this mode. Gpe-login simply looks at the four most recent characters you typed. If you make a
	   mistake while entering your password, simply start over.

	   By default, the embedded xkbd is suppressed when you use --hard-keys. You can turn it back on by passing the --xkbd argument. If you
	   want to supply extra arguments to xkbd (eg to select a simplified map with large friendly keys), use --xkbd "-k foo.map" or whatever.

       --xkbd
	   "Classic" mode, gpe-login displays an embedded xkbd and prompts the user to type their password in an entry box. Use --xkbd to
	   re-enable classic mode if hard-keys is also set.

NAME

       login.krb5 - kerberos enhanced login program

SYNOPSIS

       login.krb5 [-p] [-fFe username] [-r | -k | -K | -h hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       login.krb5  is a modification of the BSD login program which is used for two functions.	It is the sub-process used by krlogind and telnetd
       to initiate a user session and it is a replacement for the command-line login program which, when invoked with a  password,  acquires  Ker-
       beros tickets for the user.

       login.krb5  will  prompt  for a username, or take one on the command line, as login.krb5 username and will then prompt for a password. This
       password will be used to acquire Kerberos Version 5 tickets (if possible.) It will also attempt to run aklog to	get  AFS  tokens  for  the
       user.  The  version 5 tickets will be tested against a local krb5.keytab if it is available, in order to verify the tickets, before letting
       the user in. However, if the password matches the entry in /etc/passwd the user will be unconditionally	allowed  (permitting  use  of  the
       machine in case of network failure.)

OPTIONS

       -p     preserve the current environment

       -r hostname
	      pass hostname to rlogind.  Must be the last argument.

       -h hostname
	      pass hostname to telnetd, etc.  Must be the last argument.

       -f name
	      Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.

       -F name
	      Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.

       -e name
	      Perform pre-authenticated, encrypted login.  Must do term negotiation.

CONFIGURATION

       login.krb5  is  also  configured via krb5.conf using the login stanza. A collection of options dealing with initial authentication are pro-
       vided:

       krb5_get_tickets
	      Use password to get V5 tickets. Default value true.

       krb_run_aklog
	      Attempt to run aklog. Default value false.

       aklog_path
	      Where to find it [not yet implemented.] Default value $(prefix)/bin/aklog.

       accept_passwd
	      Don't accept plaintext passwords [not yet implemented]. Default value false.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection or tty associated with stderr.
