+<P>
+ Logins from terminals (via serial lines) and the console (when not
+ running X) are provided by the <tt>getty</tt><A NAME="331">&#160;</A> program. <tt>init</tt><A NAME="333">&#160;</A>
+ starts a separate instance of <tt>getty</tt><A NAME="335">&#160;</A> for each terminal for
+ which logins are to be allowed. <tt>getty</tt><A NAME="337">&#160;</A> reads the username
+ and runs the <tt>login</tt><A NAME="339">&#160;</A> program, which reads the password. If
+ the username and password are correct,
+ <tt>login</tt><A NAME="341">&#160;</A> runs the shell. When
+ the shell terminates, i.e., the user logs out, or when <tt>login</tt><A NAME="343">&#160;</A>
+ terminated because the username and password didn't match,
+ <tt>init</tt><A NAME="345">&#160;</A> notices this and starts a new instance of <tt>getty</tt><A NAME="347">&#160;</A>.
+ The kernel has no notion of logins, this is all handled by the
+ system programs.
