Connects and authenticates to remote server

li doLogin <channel name> Log in to a remote channel server. <channel name> is not supplied, the default channel is used. To use remote functions in the installer that require any kind of privileges, you need to log in first. The username and password you enter here will be stored in your per-user PEAR configuration (~/.pearrc on Unix-like systems). After logging in, your username and password will be sent along in subsequent operations on the remote server.

Logs out from the remote server

lo doLogout Logs out from the remote server. This command does not actually connect to the remote server, it only deletes the stored username and password from your user configuration.
