rlogin - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
rlogin
- remote login
SYNOPSIS
rlogin
[-8EKLdx]
[-e char]
[-l username]
host
DESCRIPTION
Rlogin
starts a terminal session on a remote host
host.
The standard Berkeley
rhosts
authorization mechanism is used.
The options are as follows:
Tag | Description |
-8
|
The
-8
option allows an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise
parity bits are stripped except when the remote sides stop and start
characters are other than
^S/^Q .
|
-E
|
The
-E
option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
When used with the
-8
option, this provides a completely transparent connection.
|
-L
|
The
-L
option allows the rlogin session to be run in litout (see
tty(4))
mode.
|
-d
|
The
-d
option turns on socket debugging (see
setsockopt(2))
on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
|
-e
|
The
-e
option allows user specification of the escape character, which is
~ by default.
This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal
value in the form \nnn.
|
A line of the form <escape char>. disconnects from the remote host.
Similarly, the line <escape char>^Z will suspend the
rlogin
session, and <escape char><delayed-suspend char> suspends the
send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system.
By default, the tilde (~) character is the escape character, and
normally control-Y (^Y) is the delayed-suspend character.
All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
the
rlogin
is transparent.
Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts
are handled properly.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by
rlogin:
Tag | Description |
TERM
|
Determines the users terminal type.

HISTORY
The
rlogin
command appeared in
BSD 4.2 .
BUGS
Rlogin
will be replaced by
telnet(1)
in the near future.
More of the environment should be propagated.
