RLOGIN(1)		    General Commands Manual		     RLOGIN(1)

NAME
       rlogin -- remote	login

SYNOPSIS
       rlogin [-468DEd]	[-e char] [-i localname] [-l username] host

DESCRIPTION
       The rlogin utility starts a terminal session on a remote	host host.

       The standard Berkeley rhosts authorization mechanism is used.

       The following options are available:

       -4    Use IPv4 addresses	only.

       -6    Use IPv6 addresses	only.

       -8    Allow 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.

       -D    Set the TCP_NODELAY socket	option which can  improve  interactive
	     response at the expense of	increased network load.

       -E    Stop  any character from being recognized as an escape character.
	     When used with the	-8 option, this	provides a  completely	trans-
	     parent connection.

       -d    Turn  on  socket debugging	(see setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets
	     used for communication with the remote host.

       -e    Allow 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.

       -i    Allow the caller to specify a different local name	to be used for
	     authentication.  This option is restricted	to processes with  uid
	     0.

       -l    Specify  a	 different username for	the remote login.  If this op-
	     tion is not specified, your local username	will be	used.

       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  session, but allows	output from the	remote system.	By de-
       fault, 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 in-
       put and output on interrupts are	handled	properly.

ENVIRONMENT
       The following environment variable is utilized by rlogin:

       TERM  Determines	the user's terminal type.

FILES
       /etc/hosts
       /etc/hosts.equiv
       $HOME/.rhosts

       hosts(5), hosts.equiv(5), rlogind(8), rshd(8)

HISTORY
       The rlogin command appeared in 4.2BSD.

       IPv6 support was	added by WIDE/KAME project.

BUGS
       The rlogin utility will be replaced by telnet(1)	in the near future.

       More of the environment should be propagated.
