NAME
     rlogin - remote login

SYNOPSIS
     rlogin rhost [ -l username ] [ -ec ] [ -L ] [ -8 ]
     rlogin username@rhost [ -ec ] [ -L ] [ -8 ]

DESCRIPTION
     rlogin connects your terminal on the current local host system to the
     remote host system rhost.  The remote username used is the same as your
     local username, unless you specify a different remote name with the -l
     option or use the username@rhost format.

     The rlogin arguments and options are:

     rhost         The hostname of the remote system.

     username      The user ID to be used on the remote system.

     -l username   Specifies the user ID to be used on the remote system.

     -ec           Specifies a different escape character.  There is no space
                   separating this option flag and the argument character, c.

     -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.  Similarly, the line ~^Z (where ^Z,
                   <Ctrl-z>, is the suspend character) suspends the rlogin
                   session if you are using csh(1).

     -8            Allows an 8-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.

     Each host has a file /etc/hosts.equiv that contains a list of remote
     hosts (equivalent hosts) with which it shares account names.  The
     hostnames must be the standard names as described in rsh(1C).  When you
     rlogin as the same user on an equivalent host, you do not need to give a
     password.

     Each user can also have a private equivalence list in a file .rhosts in
     his home directory.  Each line in this file should contain an rhost and a
     username separated by a space, which gives an additional remote host
     where logins without passwords are permitted.  If the originating user is
     not equivalent to the remote user, the remote host prompts for a login
     and password 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 TERM environment variable).  The TERM value iris-ansi is
     converted to iris-ansi-net when sent to the host.  The terminal or window



                                                                        Page 1

rlogin(1C)                                                          rlogin(1C)



     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.

BUGS
     Only the TERM environment variable is propagated.  The rlogin protocol
     should be extended to propagate useful variables, such as DISPLAY.  (Note
     that telnet(1C) is able to propagate environment variables.)
