The scologin display manager provides graphical login windows to local and remote X servers, as well as services that are similar to those provided by login or getty. In particular, scologin:
The scologin client is started as a daemon from the P86scologin script in /etc/rc2.d. By default, scologin controls the display on the second multiscreen, /dev/tty02.
The scologin window appears on the screens of all active X servers for which scologin is configured to manage. The scologin window contains two fields into which you enter your login name and password. The box also contains three buttons: Login, Restart, and Help. To start your session, enter your login and password, then press <Enter> or click on Login. To restart the X server and redisplay the scologin window, click on Restart.
If the login is successful, the following environment variables are set: $DISPLAY, $HOME, and $PATH. If you run the Desktop client, the $LANG environment variable is also set. These variables are discussed in ``Using environment variables''.
Once a user is successfully authenticated, several scripts are executed. These scripts are located in /usr/lib/X11/scologin and are listed in ``scologin session scripts''.
