rlogin(1N)                                             rlogin(1N)



     NAME
          rlogin - remote login

     SYNOPSIS
          rlogin rhost [-8] [-ec] [-lusername]
          rhost [-8] [-ec] [-lusername]

     DESCRIPTION
          rlogin connects your terminal on the current local host
          system lhost to the remote host system rhost via a local
          network running B-NET software.  On the remote side, you get
          whatever shell is set up for that account.

          Each host has a file /etc/hosts.equiv which contains a list
          of rhost's with which it shares account names.  (The hosts
          names must be the standard names as described in remsh(1N)).
          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 a 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.

          Your remote terminal type is the same as your local terminal
          type (as given in your environment TERM variable).  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 interrupts are
          handled properly.  The optional argument -8 allows an
          eight-bit data path, otherwise parity bits are stripped.  A
          line of the format ~.  disconnects from the remote host,
          where ~. is the escape character.  A different escape
          character may be specified by the -e flag option.  There is
          no space separating this flag option and the argument
          character.

          The second form of this command requires some preparation
          before it will work.  The system administrator must pave the
          way by setting up a directory, usually /usr/hosts, including
          the following command:
               # ln /usr/bin/remsh hostname
          which links the remsh binaries to hostname.  This works for
          both rlogin and remsh, since the remsh command without a
          command argument is the equivalent of the rlogin command.
          You must then include /usr/hosts (or the directory chosen by
          your system administrator) in the search path specified in
          your .login or .profile in order for the second form of this
