Update on SMFS Login and Logout

NWG/RFC #431                           MCK 15-DEC-72 12:39  13300
Update on SMFS Login and Logout

as follows:

          8     8*length
      

Where  gives the length in 8-bit characters of the  or  subfield.  The maximum length of  is eight characters and of  is four
characters.  The  and  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
       

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  is zero.
       48       is too long.
       49       contains invalid characters.
       50      The length of  is zero.
