When I use ``login -f $USER'' in default shell I am prompted for
``Password:''. What am I getting wrong about login(1) saying:

-f      The -f option is used when a user name is specified to indicate
        that proper authentication has already been done and that no
        password need be requested.  This option may only be used by the
        superuser or when an already logged in user is logging in as
        themselves.

(It works as expected when run as root or with sudo, though)

Please hit me with the clue stick!

Bye, 
Marcus
