They are described below. + + + Login (LGI) + The login command is the means whereby the user +identifies himself and specifies the account number to which his +use of SMFS is to be billed. The user should issue a LGI command +directly after completing the ICP and before any command +referencing a file. The user name and account number specified +remain in effect until another LGI command is issued, a LGO +command is issued, or the connection is closed. + + At present, the use of SMFS is not billed, and therefore +use of the accounting commands is optional. It is requested, +however, that users and user processes begin to use this command +as soon as possible, since we would like to collect statistics on +SMFS utilization before implementing billing. Therefore, at +present the user name can be any name that identfies the user, +and the account number is completely arbitrary. + + The format of the LGI command is given below. Note that +the lengths of the fixed-length fields are given in bits. The op +code for LGI is decimal 13. + + 8 + <op code><user name><account number> + +The <user name> and <account number> fields are further divided +as follows: + + 8 8*length + <length><user name> + +where <length> gives the length in 8-bit characters of the <user +name> or <account number> subfield. The maximum length of <user +name> is eight characters and of <account number> is four + + + + + + + + + [Page 1] + +NWG/RFC# 399 MCK 26-SEP-72 15:15 11917 +SMFS Login and Logout + + +characters. The <user name> and <account number> fields must +consist of characters chosen from the same character set as +filenames. + + + Logout (LGO) + The logout command terminates the association between the +user and the accounting information specified in the last LGI +command issued, if any; it does not cause SMFS to close the +connection. The user should then issue another LGI command +before attempting any operation referencing a file. It is not +necessary to issue a LGO command before issuing another LGI +command, or before closing the connection. + + Again, at the present time the LGO command is optional, +and does not affect the user's ability to reference files. + + The format of the LGO command is as follows: + + 8 + <op code> + +The op code for LGO is decimal 14. + + + + + + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the ] + [ direction of Alex McKenzie. 1/97 ] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + [Page 2] + |
