M-! grep ^login: the_large_file

to display a  list of possible login names.  You  can i-search in that
buffer.  After that,

M-! awk '/^login: felix/{print $0; ++a; next} /^password:/&&a {print $0; exit 
0}' the_large_file

Gnu-emacs 21.2 is as of march this year -- pretty ancient, no?

Where do you get something newer -- even beta or alpha?

(tarball, for solaris)
