 +be specified un-crypted.  The first password is matched against the
 +system's passwd database and the second password is matched against the
 +screen password as set with the commands ''[[acladd]]'' or
 +''[[password]]'' ''su'' may be useful for the ''screen'' administrator
 +to test multiuser setups.  When the identification fails, the user has
 +access to the commands available for user **nobody**.  These are
 +''[[detach]]'', ''[[license]]'', ''[[version]]'', ''[[help]]'' and
 +''[[displays]]''.
