RLOGIN(1C)                           BSD                            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, that contains a list of rhosts
     with which it shares account names.  (The host names must be the standard
     names as described in rsh(1C).)  When you execute rlogin as the same user
     on an equivalent host, you don't need to provide a password.  Each user
     may also have a private equivalence list in a file .rhosts in his or her
     log-in directory.  Each line in this file should contain an rhost and a
     username separated by a space, giving additional cases where logins
     without passwords are to be permitted.  If the originating user is not
     equivalent 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 CTRL/S and CTRL/Q and flushing of input and output on
     interrupts are handled properly.

     A line of the form "~." (a tilde followed by a period) disconnects from
     the remote host, where tilde is the escape character.  Similarly, the
     line "~^Z" (where ^Z, CTRL/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.  Use the -e option to specify a
     different escape character.

OPTIONS
     -ec       Specify c as the escape character to use. There is no space
               separating -e and the argument character.

     -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 CTRL/S and CTRL/Q.

     -L        Allows the rlogin session to be run in litout mode.

     -l username
               Specify a different username.  This is necessary when the
               originating user is not equivalent to the remote user.

FILES
     /usr/hosts/*        for rhost version of the command

BUGS
     More of the environment should be propagated.
