RLOGIN(TC)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          rlogin - Remote login


     Syntax
          rlogin 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  rhost's  with  which it shares account names.  (The host
          names must be the standard names as described in  rcmd(TC).)
          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 or her
          login 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(TC).   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 interrupts 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
          without  any  output  post-processing, (e.g. stty -opost.) A
          line of the form ``~.'' disconnects from  the  remote  host,
          where  ``~''  is  the  escape character.  A different escape
          character may be specified by the -e option.   There  is  no
          space   separating   this   option  flag  and  the  argument
          character.


     Notes
          The control character for closing rlogin connections  (~  by
          default)  does  not appear until after you have typed in the
          expected character (. by default).

          When using rlogin to a 3.2 system, the login  id  is  always
          requested, regardless of host equivalence;

     Bugs
          More of the environment should be propagated.

          When using rlogin to a 3.2 system, the -l option is ignored.
