RLOGIN(1C)                      Domain/OS SysV                      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. The second form of the command shown in the
     synopsis requires that you place host names as commands in the directory
     /usr/hosts, and put this directory in your search path.  You can then
     omit rlogin and enter only the host name (rhost) to remotely log in to a
     remote host.

     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 remsh(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. Note however, if your password has
     been overriden on the remote host, you will be prompted for a password
     regardless of how you log in.

     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.

     To disconnect from the remote host, use a tilde followed by a period
     (~.). The tilde is the escape character.  Similarly, to suspend the
     rlogin session, use ^Z, CTRL/Z, the suspend character.  Using CTRL/Y (the
     delayed-suspend character), you can suspend the the send portion of the
     rlogin, but allow 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
