Jim, I would like to suggest this as a change to NUT - not something to be done 
for the next release, but, like some other things in the draft RFC (I-D), as a 
statement of direction for the project.

If the project as a whole can agree on this, I will make the change LOGIN -> 
ATTACH in the I-D with a note saying that current practice is to use LOGIN.  Do 
we need to vote?
