RLOGIN(1)		FreeBSD	General	Commands Manual		     RLOGIN(1)

NAME
     rlogin -- remote login

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

DEPRECATION NOTICE
     rlogin is deprecated and will be removed from future versions of the
     FreeBSD base system.  If rlogin is	still required,	it can be installed
     from ports	or packages (net/bsdrcmds).

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 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 transpar-
	   ent 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 option
	   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	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.
