clog(1)

NAME
clog - Authenticate yourself to the Coda file system

SYNOPSIS
clog [[-x] user [ password ] ]

DESCRIPTION
This command enables users to get tokens to use for authenticated communication with a Coda File System. The given name and password are passed to an Authentication Server. The Authentication Server returns a set of tokens encoding the chosen identity if the password is correct. clog passes these tokens to the venus process, which acts as the users agent for file manipulation. These tokens have a limited lifetime, becoming invalid after 25 hours. If an attempt is made to operate on a Coda File System object while the user is not authenticated, the user will assume the privileges of the Anonymous user. clog accepts the following arguments:

user
    Login name you wish to be identified as.

passwd
    Password corresponding to the given user name. (If not provided on the command line, the user will be prompted for one.)

BUGS
The -x switch is not needed. Specifying a username and passwd is sufficient.
