10 Arguments:
11 login_word
12    is a new login word that is set.  If you set the login word to
13    shutdown, no users are allowed to log in; if a user dials up, he is
14    told that the system is shutting down and his terminal is hung up
15    immediately.  If you give no login_word, the current one is
16    displayed along with the message if you gave one.
17 message
18    is a message string to which the dialup buffer is set.  If you give
19    it, and if login_word is "login," the message buffer is reset; if
20    login_word is "shutdown," the message buffer is set to "Multics is
21    shutting down"; if login_word is anything else, the message buffer
22    is set to "Special session in progress."
