+RFC #431 Mark Krilanovich
+NIC #13300 UCSB
+Updates: 122 Dec. 15, 1972
+Obsoletes: 399
+
+ Update on SMFS Login and Logout
+
+ This document replaces RFC 399, which introduced the Login
+and Logout commands for UCSB's SMFS, but was incomplete. RFC 399
+is restated here, followed by a description of the nature of the
+response elicted by these commands
+
+ Two new commands have been added to UCSB's Simple Minded
+File System (SMFS). 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 close.
+
+ At present, the use of SMFS is not billed, and therefore
+use of the accounting command 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 identifies 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
+

+NWG/RFC #431 MCK 15-DEC-72 12:39 13300
+Update on SMFS Login and Logout
+
+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
+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.
+
+ Login and logout each elicit, as their only response, an
+eight-bit completion code. Like the other SMFS commands, the
+completion code is equal to the command's op code if the command
+was successful. The following error completion codes, given in
+decimal, are currently defined:
+
+
+ 47 The length of <user name> is zero.
+ 48 <user name> is too long.
+ 49 <user name> contains invalid characters.
+ 50 The length of <account number> is zero.

+Update on SMFS Login and Logout
+
+
+ 51 <account number> is too long.
