I say "I log into the machine",  just like I would say "I logged into the 
machine" (rather than "loginned to the machine" ;)).

I agree with Sridhar, I think we should use  separate words (e.g. "log in") 
for verbs, but for nouns, either hyphenated versions (e.g. "log-in") or run 
together words (e.g. "login").
