| To log in and assign a user name, type '':LOGIN NAME'' or ''NAME$U'', where NAME is to be substituted for your user name. Using the winning $U command does have a slight difference: ..CLOBRF and ..MORWARN will be set to 0. Originally, ITS would not ask for a password so there was no protection against logging in as someone else. As more and more Arpanet randoms were seen to hog precious resources, ITS was coerced into adding a password facility. | To log in and assign a user name, type '':LOGIN NAME'' or ''NAME$U'', where NAME is to be substituted for your user name.
