# LOGIN / LOGOUT baseline test

`LGNTSTA` is a manual two-stage baseline test for Novell `LOGIN`, `LOGOUT`, and `MAP`.

This test does **not** overwrite `SYS:LOGIN`, `SYS:PUBLIC`, or `SYS:NPUBLIC`. It copies the Novell tools to a temporary local directory on `C:` and runs from there. `LOGIN` and `MAP` are copied from `SYS:NLOGIN`; `LOGOUT` is copied from `SYS:NPUBLIC`.

## Required setup

User `NOPASSUSER` must exist on `MARS` and must be able to login without a password.

## Run

Start while logged in as `SUPERVISOR`:

```bat
F:\LGNTSTA
```

Then run the helper from `C:`:

```bat
C:
CD \LGNTTMP
LGNTC
```

The helper does:

```text
LOGOUT
LOGIN NOPASSUSER
MAP
LOGOUT
```

All tool calls and redirected output paths are absolute `C:\LGNTTMP\...`, because Novell `LOGIN` can change the current drive/search path.

Then login manually as `SUPERVISOR` again from the same local tool directory:

```bat
C:\LGNTTMP\LOGIN SUPERVISOR
```

After the login script restores `F:`, collect results:

```bat
F:\LGNTSTA PART2
F:\LGNTZIP
```

## Expected output files

`F:\LGNTCMP\OUT` contains:

```text
D01_LOG.OUT   LOGOUT output from initial supervisor session
D02_LGIN.OUT  LOGIN NOPASSUSER output
D03_MAP.OUT   MAP output after NOPASSUSER login
D04_LGOT.OUT  LOGOUT output from NOPASSUSER session
D99_HELP.OUT  simulated LOGIN usage line for later comparison
HELPER.TXT    helper trace
```

`D99_HELP.OUT` is intentionally produced with `ECHO`, because Novell `LOGIN /?` may not redirect help text reliably.


## Implementation note

After `LOGIN NOPASSUSER`, DOS/NetWare may change the current drive/search path. `LGNTC.BAT` therefore calls `C:\LGNTTMP\LOGIN`, `C:\LGNTTMP\MAP`, and `C:\LGNTTMP\LOGOUT` explicitly and redirects to absolute `C:\LGNTTMP\*.OUT` files.

## Parameter handling

`LGNTSTA` starts Part 1 only when called without parameters. `PART2` is accepted case-insensitively (`PART2`, `part2`, `Part2`, etc.). Any other parameter prints usage and does not start Part 1, so a typo cannot accidentally reset the test state.
