[syn: {log in}, {log on}] [ant: {log out}] From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: LOGIN 1. An {object-oriented} {deductive language} and {database} system integrating {logic programming} and {inheritance}. ["LOGIN: A Logic Programming Language with Built-In Inheritance", H. Ait-Kaci et al J Logic Programming 3(3):185-215 (1986)]. 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. (1997-08-03)
