Yes, 'se logger' [to log in] springs to mind.
Having worked in Paris, in French, in IT for 6 years you most certainly need
to understand the peculiar set of jargon/terminology used. It is less than
obvious. And that is before you get to various idioms. I would always get
a native speaker to proof my documentation to correct this.
Here's a fairly representative page:
http://www-prima.imag.fr/legal/clone-pc.php
Or 'noyau' versus 'kernel' -- it just depends.
Get google to translate that page to get a good idea of the problem.
