Aaaand I realised it was all because nerd login spawns a browser window and I was running it on a remote machine.

So the actual problem is the lack of information (on the command line) about what's happening.

It's still a good issue, because it is supposed to work on headless machines.

As a first step we should provide feedback on what happening (e.g opening browser window, waiting for redirect), as a second step we want to provide solid option for when no browser (or GUI) is installed? Finaly I would like to start a discussion to actual login from the CLI.
