ONE
NOLOG
?
? This option allows you to register for interactive searching
? of AT&T Library Network databases. Non-interactive searches
? may be submitted through the library command (option 4).
?
? The LINUS login on the AT&T Library Network machine (mhuxd) allows
? you to interactively and directly search available databases,
? e.g. book catalog, serial/journals database, personnel database.
? Because of the proprietary and restricted nature of some of
? the databases, the following registration method is used
? to provide confident identification of individuals.
?
? -Use this option of the library command to choose
? your own LINUS password (which cannot contain spaces).
?
? -After choosing your password, we will send you mail
? (paper or electronic) acknowledging your request
? with a random confirmation number.
?
? -Use this option of the library command again to resubmit
? your chosen password and submit the confirmation number.
?
? -Once we have received and processed your registration, you
? will have access to LINUS within a day.

----------------------------
Enter a password (of your own invention) which will become your
AT&T Library Network password. For security reasons, we recommend
that you do NOT use your UNIX system login password. Note
that the password can NOT include spaces.
Library Network Password +1
? This password is required. Presently it is only used when you use
? the "linus" login on mhuxd. It is strongly recommended that it NOT
? be your UNIX system password. You can change your password
? as often as you like.
If you are just starting the two step process involved in registering
for interactive access to AT&T Library Network databases,
simply hit return at the prompt below.
If you are on the second stage you will have received a random
confirmation number by paper mail. Please enter that number below.
confirmation number *1
? The confirmation number required here would have been sent to you
? after you first used this request option. It is a random number that
? the system uses to track your request - and confirm the security of
? the registration procedure.
