NAME

rlogin − remote login

SYNOPSIS

rlogin remote_host [ −e c ] [ username ]

DESCRIPTION

rlogin connects your terminal on the current host system to a login listener on the remote host system remote_host.  (The remote_host name must be a standard name or the alias in /etc/hosts.) 

The remote machine may prompt for a login and a password as in login(1), or it may proceed directly to the logged-in state. 

All echoing occurs at the remote site; the remote login is transparent except for delays.  Flow control via CTRL-S and CTRL-Q, and  I/O flushing on interrupts are handled properly.  A line of the form “ ~ . ” disconnects your terminal from the remote host, where “ ~ ” is the escape character.  A different escape character can be chosen with the −e option.
