RLOGIN(1)		FreeBSD	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 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

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.
