From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]:
login
(Or "log in", "log on", "logon") To start a {session}
with a system, usually by giving a {user name} and {password}
as a means of user {authentication}. The term is also used to
mean the ability to access a service (also called an account),
e.g. "Have you been given a login yet?"
"Log in/on" is occasionally misused to refer to starting a
session where no authorisation is involved, or to access where
there is no session involved. E.g. "Log on to our {Web
site}!"
login" is also the {Unix} program which reads and verifies a
user's user name and password and starts an {interactive}
session.
