Henry's Points

Quick post for the sequence for login Unix (Linux) shell, since we may not know some procedures in details.

1. The system is connected to a tty (user port)
2. The kernel invokes the getty program
3. A login prompt is displayed continuously monitoring the communication port for any type of input.
4. Control is passed on by invoking the program name found in the user’s entry in the password file.
