I am interested in exploring the process that takes place when a user logs on. I am interested in the general subject. In other word, what is common between, say, telnet, locoal console, su, and xdmcp logins. I am also interested in the details of the xdmcp/xdm/kdm authentication and initialization processes. I'm looking for something technical, but more general than an API spec. An API spec may actually be of interest as well. What I want to know is what actual process is started, how it is started, who it runs as, what it does, what it calls, and what standards exist regarding this subject.
