NAME

       rlogin — remote login

SYNOPSIS

       rlogin [-8EKLd] [-e char] [-i identity] [-l username] [-p port] host

DESCRIPTION

       Rlogin starts a terminal session on a remote host host.

       Rlogin  first  attempts to use the Kerberos authorization mechanism, described below.  If the remote host
       does not supporting Kerberos the standard Berkeley rhosts authorization mechanism is used.   The  options
       are as follows:

       -8    The  -8 option 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 .

       -i    The -i option specifies the local user name to use  for  authentication  with  the  remote  rlogind
             server.  This overrides the default which is the name of the user invoking rlogin.

       -l    The  -l option specifies the name of the remote user to login as.  This overrides the default which
             is the name of the user invoking rlogin.

       -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.

       -K    The -K option turns off all Kerberos authentication.  This option  has  no  effect  since  Kerberos
             authentication is not available in this version.

       -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.

       -p    The -p option specifies the port to connect to.  This overrides the default which is login.

       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:

       TERM  Determines the user's terminal type.

HISTORY

BUGS

       Rlogin will be replaced by telnet(1) in the near future.

       More of the environment should be propagated.
