Jim, I would like to suggest this as a change to NUT - not something to be done <br>
for the next release, but, like some other things in the draft RFC (I-D), as a <br>
statement of direction for the project.<br>
<br>
If the project as a whole can agree on this, I will make the change LOGIN -> <br>
ATTACH in the I-D with a note saying that current practice is to use LOGIN. Do <br>
we need to vote?<br>
<br>
