login - Démarrer une session sur le système
login [-p] [-h host] [nom_utilisateur] [ENV=VAR...]
login [-p] [-h host] -f nom_utilisateur
login [-p] -r host
The login program is used to establish a new session with the system. It is normally invoked automatically by responding to the login: prompt on the user's terminal. login may be special to the shell and may not be invoked as a sub-process. When called from a shell, login should be executed as exec login which will cause the user to exit from the current shell (and thus will prevent the new logged in user to return to the session of the caller). Attempting to execute login from any shell but the login shell will produce an error message.
The user is then prompted for a password, where appropriate. Echoing is disabled to prevent revealing the password. Only a small number of password failures are permitted before login exits and the communications link is severed.
If password aging has been enabled for your account, you may be prompted for a new password before proceeding. You will be forced to provide your old password and the new password before continuing. Please refer to passwd(1) for more information.
Your user and group ID will be set according to their values in the /etc/passwd file. The value for $HOME, $SHELL, $PATH, $LOGNAME, and $MAIL are set according to the appropriate fields in the password entry. Ulimit, umask and nice values may also be set according to entries in the GECOS field.
On some installations, the environmental variable $TERM will be initialized to the terminal type on your tty line, as specified in /etc/ttytype.
Un script d'initialisation pour votre interpréteur de commandes pourra également être exécuté. Veuillez vous référer à la section de manuel appropriée pour plus d'informations sur cette fonctionnalité.
Une connexion à un sous-système est indiquée par la présence d'un « * » comme premier caractère de l'interpréteur de commandes initial. Le répertoire personnel sera utilisé comme racine d'un nouveau système de fichiers dans lequel l'utilisateur sera connecté.
The login program is NOT responsible for removing users from the utmp file. It is the responsibility of getty(8) and init(8) to clean up apparent ownership of a terminal session. If you use login from the shell prompt without exec, the user you use will continue to appear to be logged in even after you log out of the "subsession".
-f
Note: In that case, username is mandatory.
-h
-p
-r
The -r, -h and -f options are only used when login is invoked by root.
This version of login has many compilation options, only some of which may be in use at any particular site.
L'emplacement des fichiers peut varier suivant la configuration du système.

As with any program, login's appearance can be faked. If non-trusted users have physical access to a machine, an attacker could use this to obtain the password of the next person coming to sit in front of the machine. Under Linux, the SAK mechanism can be used by users to initiate a trusted path and prevent this kind of attack.
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
CONSOLE_GROUPS (string)
Use with caution - it is possible for users to gain permanent access to these groups, even when not logged in on the console.
DEFAULT_HOME (boolean)
If set to yes, the user will login in the root (/) directory if it is not possible to cd to her home directory.
ENV_PATH (string)
ENV_SUPATH (string)
ERASECHAR (number)
La valeur peut être préfixée par « 0 » pour une valeur octale, ou « 0x » pour une valeur hexadécimale.
FAIL_DELAY (number)
FAKE_SHELL (string)
HUSHLOGIN_FILE (string)
KILLCHAR (number)
La valeur peut être préfixée par « 0 » pour une valeur octale, ou « 0x » pour une valeur hexadécimale.
LOGIN_RETRIES (number)
Ce sera probablement écrasé par PAM, puisque le module pam_unix est réglé en dur pour n'effectuer que 3 tentatives. Toutefois, il s'agit d'une solution de repli au cas où vous utilisez un module d'authentification qui ne fait pas appliquer PAM_MAXTRIES.
LOGIN_TIMEOUT (number)
LOG_OK_LOGINS (boolean)
LOG_UNKFAIL_ENAB (boolean)
Remarque : la journalisation des noms d'utilisateurs inconnus peut être un problème de sécurité si un utilisateur entre son mot de passe au lieu de son nom d'utilisateur.
TTYGROUP (string), TTYPERM (string)
By default, the ownership of the terminal is set to the user's primary group and the permissions are set to 0600.
TTYGROUP can be either the name of a group or a numeric group identifier.
If you have a write program which is "setgid" to a special group which owns the terminals, define TTYGROUP to the group number and TTYPERM to 0620. Otherwise leave TTYGROUP commented out and assign TTYPERM to either 622 or 600.
TTYTYPE_FILE (string)
USERGROUPS_ENAB (boolean)
