Example 11-16. Login Command

The login command turns off the security features, enabling access to all SRM
console commands during the current session. The system automatically
returns to secure mode as soon as the boot, continue, or start command is
entered or when the system is initialized.
When the login command is entered, the user is prompted for the current
system password. If a password has not been set, a message is displayed
indicating that there is no password in NVRAM. If a password has been set,
this prompt is displayed:
Please enter the password:
If the password entered matches the password in NVRAM when the prompt is
redisplayed, the console is no longer in secure mode and all console
commands can be performed.
NOTE: If you enter the login command when a halt assertion exists, the
command fails, even if you enter the correct password. See RMC Commands
for information on halt assertion.
