NAME
rlogin - remote login

SYNOPSIS
rlogin rhost [ -ec ] [ -8 ] [ -L ] [ -l username ]
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(1).) 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 terminal or
window 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.
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. Similarly, the line "~^Z" (where
^Z, control-Z, is the suspend character) will suspend the rlogin
session. Substitution of the delayed-suspend character (normally
^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 separating this option flag and the argument character.
