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  char-
	   acters are other than ^S/^Q.

     -D    Set	the  TCP_NODELAY socket option which can improve interactive re-
	   sponse 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 transparent
	   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 de-
	   fault.   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 au-
	   thentication.  This option is restricted to processes with uid 0.

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

     A line of the form "<escape char>." disconnects from the remote host.  Sim-
     ilarly, 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 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.

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

SEE ALSO
     login(1),	rsh(1),  telnet(1), setsockopt(2), ruserok(3), tty(4), 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.
