RLOGIN(1C)                                                          RLOGIN(1C)


NAME
       rlogin - remote login

SYNOPSIS
       rlogin rhost [ -ec ] [ -8 ] [ -L ] [ -l username ]
       rhost [ -ec ] [ -8 ] [ -L ] [ -l username ]

DESCRIPTION
       Rlogin connects your terminal on the current local host system lhost to
       the remote host system rhost.

       Each host has a file /etc/hosts.equiv which contains a list of  rhost’s
       with  which it shares account names.  (The host names must be the stan‐
       dard names as described in rsh(1C).)  When you rlogin as the same  user
       on  an  equivalent  host, you don’t need to give a password.  Each user
       may also have a private equivalence list in a file .rhosts in his login
       directory.   Each line in this file should contain an rhost and a user���
       name separated by a space, giving additional cases where logins without
       passwords  are to be permitted.  If the originating user is not equiva‐
       lent to the remote user, then a login and password will be prompted for
       on the remote machine as in login(1).  To avoid some security problems,
       the .rhosts file must be owned by either the remote user or root.

       The remote terminal type is the same as your local  terminal  type  (as
       given  in your environment TERM variable).  The terminal or window size
       is also copied to the remote system if the server supports the  option,
       and  changes in size are reflected as well.  All echoing takes place at
       the remote site, so that (except for delays) the rlogin is transparent.
       Flow  control  via ^S and ^Q and flushing of input and output on inter‐
       rupts are handled properly.  The optional argument -8 allows an  eight-
       bit  input  data  path at all times; otherwise parity bits are stripped
       except when the remote side’s stop and start characters are other  than
       ^S/^Q.   The  argument -L allows the rlogin session to be run in litout
       mode.  A line of the form ‘‘~.’’  disconnects  from  the  remote  host,
       where  ‘‘~’’  is  the  escape  character.   Similarly, the line ‘‘~^Z’’
       (where ^Z, control-Z, is the suspend character) will suspend the rlogin
       session.   Substitution  of the delayed-suspend character (normally ^Y)
       for the suspend character suspends the send portion of the rlogin,  but
       allows output from the remote system.  A different escape character may
       be specified by the -e option.   There  is  no  space  separating  this
       option flag and the argument character.
