   kcarlson@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.sois.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):

    snkac@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.  Suggestions
  for enhancements or bug reports can be directed to
  dutools@ts.sois.alaska.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 gen-
  erally 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.
