initial-template
The initial-template entry identifies an initial-action template (without the
.act file extension) for setting the startup action for the specified sessions
when connecting to the host computer. The start-up action brings the
specified sessions to the screen on the host computer where the action
templates start when processing requests. Figure 3-4 shows the flow of a
sample initial-action template.

Initial-action template
The initial-action template follows the same format described earlier for
action templates. The screen templates specified by the initial-action template
must also be created. The screen template for a login screen (or the login
prompt) must specify the correct login ID and password (if appropriate) to
access the host computer. You should not specify a reset-action template in
the initial-action template, although you should specify a logout-action
template.
