Chris,

One can find the actual translation of LNM$JOB in logical name table LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY.

Insofar as it is desirable to create a group LOGIN.COM, I covered the technique in "Group-wide LOGIN Profiles Lower Risk, Decrease Cost" at 
http://www.rlgsc.com/blog/openvms-consultant/group-wide-login.html 

It is a useful technique. I did several articles on specialty login techniques, see The OpenVMS  Consultant home page on my site.
