       This may sound a bit silly, but we have some applications for our
    VAX that could use an automatic logon facility.  For example, a secure
    line to our phone system switchboard office might allow our operators
    to just turn on their terminal, type a <return> or two, and be
    automatically logged on their account.  (From there the LOGIN.COM for
    the account could start up the database program they require.)
       Is there such a facility in VMS?  TOPS-10 provides the base for this
    throught INITIA, which runs on every line as connections occur.  Any
    suggestions?
VMS has such a facility built in.  Take a look at SYS$MANAGER:ALFMAINT.COM.
