  Several short examples:

   users:15

   nugget: uakid -host        # login host
   sw-oncall-01-05.sons.alaska.edu

   nugget: uakid -c           # passwd comments field

   onyx1: sudo ~/bin/uakid -login -name
   kcarlson:root

  Example for .profile establishing default screen size by login host:

   if (tty -s)     then         # following only on terminals:
     if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then # following on non-X terminals
       case "'uakid -h" in
       snkac.alaska.edu )       stty columns 132 rows 60 ;;
       *brr.arsc.edu )          stty columns 132 rows 54 ;;
       *sw-oncall*|*uaf*du*)    stty columns 132 rows 35 ;;
       137.229.12.*)            stty columns 132 rows 35 ;;
       *)                       stty columns 132 rows 35 ;;
       esac
       # [...]
     else
       # [...]
     fi
   fi

  Example for login uid (Digital UNIX):

    nugget: sudo uakid -login -other
    snkac:Eid=root,0:Rid=root,0:Lid=snkac,7167

NOTES

  uakid has been tested under Digital UNIX, IRIX, and UNICOS.  Sugges-
  tions  for  enhancements  or  bug  reports  can   be   directed   to
  fnkac@uaf.edu.

  This  command  utilizes  the cci command parser utilized by non-UNIX
  operating systems instead of the traditional UNIX getopt()  parsing.
  Options have been defined to "look like" UNIX style options, but can
  be spelled out or generally abbreviated.  For example  '-h'  is  the
  same  as  '-host'.   Because  of this multiple options must be space
  separated and the hyphen is part of the option name.
