     RLOGIN(1C)                                             RLOGIN(1C)



     NAME
          rlogin - remote login

     SYNOPSIS
          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 which contains a list
          of rhost's with which it shares account names.  (The host
          names must be the standard 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 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 TERM
          value ``wsiris'' is converted to ``rwsiris'' when sent to
          the host.  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 litout mode.  A line
          of the form ``~.'' disconnects from the remote host, where
          ``~'' is the escape character.  A line starting with ``\~
          !'' starts a shell on the IRIS.  A different escape
          character may be specified by the -e option.  There is no
          space separating this option flag and the argument
          character.
