# rlogin(1)

    NAME
         rlogin - remote login

    SYNOPSIS
         rlogin [-8EL] [-e char] [-l username] rhost
         rhost [-8EL] [-e char] [-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.  With the -E option the escape can be turned off.
