   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.

  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.
