rlogin(1c) rlogin(1c) Name rlogin - remote login Syntax rlogin rhost [-ec] [-8] [-L] [-l username] rhost [-ec] [-8] [-L] [-l username] Description The command connects your terminal on the current local host system, lhost, to the remote host system, rhost. Each host has a file which contains a list of rhosts with which it shares account names. The host names must be the standard names as described in When you use the command to login as the same user on an equivalent host, you do not need to specify a password. You can also have a private equivalence list in a file .rhosts in your login directory. Each line in this file should contain the rhost name and a username separated by a space, giving additional cases where logins without passwords are permitted. If the originating user is not equivalent to the remote user, then the remote system prompts for a login and password as in To avoid security problems, the .rhosts file must be owned by either the remote user or root and it may not be a symbolic link. Your remote terminal type is the same as your local terminal type, which is specified by your environment TERM variable. Except for delays, all echoing takes place at the remote site so the rlogin is transparent. Flow control by and <CTRL/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 site's stop and start characters are other than and <CTRL/Q>. A tilde followed by a dot (~.) on a separate line disconnects from the remote host, where the tilde (~) is the escape character. Similarly, a tilde followed by <CTRL/Z> (~ <CTRL/Z>), where is the suspend character, suspends the rlogin session. Substitution of the delayed-suspend character, which is normally <CTRL/Y>, for the suspend character suspends the send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system. A different escape character may be specified by the -e option. There is no space sepa- rating this option flag and the argument character. Options -8 Allows an 8-bit input data path at all times. -ec Uses the specified character as the escape character. If not specified, uses a tilde (~). -l username Logs you in as the specified user, not as your user login name. -L Runs session in litout mode.

rlogin - Connects the local host with a remote host SYNOPSIS
rlogin [-8L] [-e character] [-l user] remote_host The remote login command (rlogin) logs into remote_host and connects your local terminal to the remote host. OPTIONS
Allows an 8-bit data path at all times. Otherwise, unless the Stop and Continue key sequences on the remote host are not standard, rlogin uses a 7-bit data path and the eighth (high) bit of each byte is stripped. Changes the Escape character. Substitute the character you choose for character. Changes the remote username to the one you specify. Otherwise, your local username is used at the remote host. Allows the rlogin session to be run in litout mode. In this mode, the escape sequence ~. (where ~ is the escape character) disconnects you from the remote host and the escape sequence ~^Z (where ^Z, or Ctrl-Z, is the suspend character) suspends the rlogin session if you are using csh. DESCRIPTION
The remote terminal type is the same as that given in the local TERM environment variable. The terminal or window size is also the same, if the remote host supports them, and any changes in size are transferred. All echoing takes place at the remote host, so except for delays, the terminal connection is transparent. Pressing the Stop and Continue key sequences stops and starts the flow of information, and the input and output buffers are flushed on Interrupts. The rlogin command can only be used to connect to systems that are running the rlogind daemon. On systems that do not support rlogin, you can use telnet (if supported) as an alternative. If you do not specify the -l option, the local username is used at the remote host. If -l user is specified, the username entered is used at the remote host. In either case, the remote host allows access only if one or both of the following conditions is satisfied: The local host is included in the remote host's /etc/hosts.equiv file, the local user is not the superuser, and the -l user option is not specified. The local host is included in a $HOME/.rhosts file in the home directory of the remote user account. If -l user is specified, the local username must also be included in the file. If neither of these conditions is met and a password is defined for the remote user account, the remote host prompts for a password. The remote password file is checked to verify the password entered, and the login prompt is displayed if the password is not correct. Pressing the End-of-File key sequence at the login prompt ends the remote login attempt. For security reasons, any $HOME/.rhosts file must be owned by either the remote user or the root user and should have permissions set to 600 (read and write by owner only). In addition to the preceding conditions, rlogin also allows access to the remote host if the remote user account does not have a password defined. However, for security reasons, use of a password on all user accounts is recommended. Unless otherwise modified by the -e option, the standard Escape character for disconnecting from the remote host is a ~ (tilde). The Escape character is only recognized by the remote host if it occurs at the beginning of a line. Otherwise, the Escape character is sent to the remote host as a normal character. To send the Escape character to the remote host as a normal character at the beginning of a line, press the Escape character twice. Pressing the Escape character and a (dot) (for example, ~.) immediately disconnects the local terminal from the remote host. EXAMPLES
In the following examples, the local host is listed in the /etc/hosts.equiv file at the remote host: To log in to a remote host with your local username, enter: $ rlogin host2 Password: <Enter password> To log off the remote host and close the connection, enter the End-of-File key sequence. To log in to a remote host with a differ- ent username, enter: $ rlogin host2 -l dale You are prompted to enter your password and then are logged in to the remote host host2 with the username dale. To log in to host2 with the your local username and change the Escape character to (backslash), enter: $ rlogin host2 -e\ FILES
Specifies remote hosts from which users can execute commands on the local host (provided these users have an account on the local host). Specifies remote users who can use a local user account. SEE ALSO
