"login -h tip.address"??

[Pontifica Maxima]

Sorry if this seems to be a 'rtfm' question, but I DID rtfm, and it has
nothing listed as a "-h" option.

When someone's job shows as "login -h tip.address" where tip.address
is the address of a local dial-in, what exactly does that mean?

If you just type "login", you end up being prompted and logging back
into the same system.

If you type "login -h" it goes directly to the password prompt, but does
not accept your regular password.

If you type "login -h tip.address" it says "too many arguments".

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Thanks
