This routine makes the first contact for all interactive logins from other than DECwindows terminals after opening the input and output files but before any other dialogue with the user. At this point, the site should be preparing to augment or replace the OpenVMS system password routine. The callback routine LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD provides access to the system password routine. However, because LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD returns only on success, the site design should consider what action to take in case LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD does not return control to LGI$ICR_IACT_ START. The LGI$ICR_IACT_START routine can use the LGI$ICB_GET_INPUT callback routine to: o Get input from the user o Use an OpenVMS RMS record access block (RAB) to establish appropriate terminal mode settings
