  login
       
           (Or "log in", "log on", "logon") To start a {session}
          with a system, usually by giving a {user name} and {password}
          as a means of user {authentication}.  The term is also used to
          mean the ability to access a service (also called an account),
          e.g. "Have you been given a login yet?"
       
          "Log in/on" is occasionally misused to refer to starting a
          session where no authorisation is involved, or to access where
          there is no session involved.  E.g. "Log on to our {Web
          site}!"
       
          "login" is also the {Unix} program which reads and verifies a
          user's user name and password and starts an {interactive}
          session.
