NAME
rlogin
- remote login
SYNOPSIS
rlogin
[-8EKLd [-e char
]
]
[-i identity
]
[-l username
]
[-p port
]
host
DESCRIPTION
Rlogin
starts a terminal session on a remote host
host
Rlogin
first attempts to use the Kerberos authorization mechanism, described below.
If the remote host does not supporting Kerberos the standard Berkeley
rhosts
authorization mechanism is used.
The options are as follows:
- -8
-
The
-8
option allows 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 .
- -i
-
The
-i
option specifies the local user name to use for authentication with the remote
rlogind
server. This overrides the default which is the name of the user invoking
rlogin
- -l
-
The
-l
option specifies the name of the remote user to login as. This overrides the
default which is the name of the user invoking
rlogin
- -E
-
The
-E
option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
When used with the
-8
option, this provides a completely transparent connection.
- -K
-
The
-K
option turns off all Kerberos authentication. This option has no effect since
Kerberos authentication is not available in this version.
- -L
-
The
-L
option allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout'' (see
tty(4))
mode.
- -d
-
The
-d
option turns on socket debugging (see
setsockopt(2))
on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
- -e
-
The
-e
option allows 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.
- -p
-
The
-p
option specifies the port to connect to. This overrides the default
which is
login
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, 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.
