HIDING from other users

Zephyr allows you to have various exposure levels, in other words, you
control whether or not people can zlocate you. To set an exposure level
you need to set a variable from within zctl (Zephyr control program). To
set your exposure use:

	zctl set exposure <exposure level>

where the <exposure level> can be one of:

        net-announced    -  anyone can zlocate you or receive notification
                            when you log in
        net-visible      -  anyone can zlocate you but your login is only
                            announced to those within the Athena realm.
        realm-announced  -  only users who have been authenticated with
                            Kerberos can zlocate you and can
                            receive notification when you login
        realm-visible    -  only users who have been authenticated with
                            Kerberos can zlocate you; your login is not
                            announced
        opstaff          -  only members of Athena operations staff can 
                            find you
        none             -  no one can find you _or_ zwrite you, and your 
			    login is not announced. This option disables 
			    Zephyr completely.

         
You have the option to hide during your login session without resetting your
Zephyr variables. To do this type:

	zctl hide

To become visible again type:

	zctl unhide
