13 Rlogin connects your terminal on the current local host system lhost to
14 the remote host system rhost.
15 Each host has a file /etc/hosts.equiv which contains a list of rhost's
17 with which it shares account names. (The host names must be the stan‐
18 dard names as described in rsh(1C).) When you rlogin as the same user
19 on an equivalent host, you don't need to give a password. Each user
20 may also have a private equivalence list in a file .rhosts in his login
21 directory. Each line in this file should contain an rhost and a user‐
22 name separated by a space, giving additional cases where logins without
23 passwords are to be permitted. If the originating user is not equiva‐
24 lent to the remote user, then a login and password will be prompted for
25 on the remote machine as in login(1). To avoid some security problems,
26 the .rhosts file must be owned by either the remote user or root.
27 The remote terminal type is the same as your local terminal type (as
29 given in your environment TERM variable). The terminal or window size
30 is also copied to the remote system if the server supports the option,
31 and changes in size are reflected as well. All echoing takes place at
32 the remote site, so that (except for delays) the rlogin is transparent.
33 Flow control via ^S and ^Q and flushing of input and output on inter‐
34 rupts are handled properly. The optional argument -8 allows an eight-
35 bit input data path at all times; otherwise parity bits are stripped
36 except when the remote side's stop and start characters are other than
37 ^S/^Q. The argument -L allows the rlogin session to be run in litout
38 mode. A line of the form ``~.'' disconnects from the remote host,
39 where ``~'' is the escape character. Similarly, the line ``~^Z''
40 (where ^Z, control-Z, is the suspend character) will suspend the rlogin
41 session. Substitution of the delayed-suspend character (normally ^Y)
42 for the suspend character suspends the send portion of the rlogin, but
43 allows output from the remote system. A different escape character may
44 be specified by the -e option. There is no space separating this
45 option flag and the argument character.
