Largely, that works for me.

A totally friendly implementation might not let the user overtype
the field, but provide instead a pop-up selection list of logon
PROCs (e.g.) authorized to the particular user.  Walt F. might
have some opinions on the practicality of such a design, and even
the security concerns of presenting such a list to the not-yet-
logged in user.

And I think restricting the user's choice of login PROCs/commands
is superfluous and silly.  If the user chooses a PROC that tries
to do something the particular user shouldn't to, RACF should
prevent it.
