I think it depends on the system, and if a use case "Login" is essential,
you should design it.

However, for all those who on principle say no to the need for use cases
"Login" or "Logout", it's interesting that Rational teaches the use of a
"Login" use case in their training courses material (the "Course
Registration System")...
