What're you trying to achieve?  A skip past the usual bulletins and other 
stuff?  I implemented that once by adding a prefix ("*") to the username 
at the NN: prompt.  IOW to perform a fast logon, you would simply 
have to enter *nightcrawler at the NN: prompt.

A simple check for the "*" turned on a flag to trigger the skip, and 
removed the "*" so the username could be validated successfully.  (If you 
don't like a "*" use something else.)  You would have to modify login.js 
to check for the flag.  You could insert a small block of code right after 
the
	// Get login string
	var str=console.getstr( . . . );

to check for the prefix/flag (various ways), remove it if found, and also 
either initiate the skip or set a value in a variable that can be tested 
later to skip/no-skip.  It depends where you want to begin skipping and 
where you want to skip *to*.  Something like this maybe?

    // check for quick-logon prefix   (O, Perl!  Where art thou?)
    if (str.match( /^\*\s*/ )) {
        str = str.replace( /^\*\s*/, "" );	// remove prefix
        QuickFlag = true;			// set flagB
    }

Now at any point, you can test for QuickFlag and take apropriate action as 
you see fit.
