| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 27 | .B Rlogin
|
|---|
| 28 | connects your terminal on the current local host system
|
|---|
| 29 | .I lhost
|
|---|
| 30 | to the remote host system
|
|---|
| 31 | .I rhost.
|
|---|
| 32 | .PP
|
|---|
| 33 | Each host has a file
|
|---|
| 34 | .B /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|---|
| 35 | which contains a list of \fIrhost\fR's with which it shares account names.
|
|---|
| 36 | (The host names must be the standard names as described in
|
|---|
| 37 | .BR rsh (1).)
|
|---|
| 38 | When you
|
|---|
| 39 | .B rlogin
|
|---|
| 40 | as the same user on an equivalent host, you don't need
|
|---|
| 41 | to give a password.
|
|---|
| 42 | Each user may also have a private equivalence list in a file \&.rhosts
|
|---|
| 43 | in his login directory. Each line in this file should contain an \fIrhost\fP
|
|---|
| 44 | and a \fIusername\fP separated by a space, giving additional cases
|
|---|
| 45 | where logins without passwords are to be permitted.
|
|---|
| 46 | If the originating user is not equivalent to the remote user, then
|
|---|
| 47 | a login and password will be prompted for on the remote machine as in
|
|---|
| 48 | .BR login (1).
|
|---|
| 49 | To avoid some security problems, the \&.rhosts file must be owned by
|
|---|
| 50 | either the remote user or root.
|
|---|
| 51 | .PP
|
|---|
| 52 | The remote terminal type is the same as your local
|
|---|
| 53 | terminal type (as given in your environment TERM variable).
|
|---|
| 54 | The terminal or window size is also copied to the remote system
|
|---|
| 55 | if the server supports the option,
|
|---|
| 56 | and changes in size are reflected as well.
|
|---|
| 57 | All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for
|
|---|
| 58 | delays) the rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S and ^Q and
|
|---|
| 59 | flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly.
|
|---|
| 60 | The optional argument
|
|---|
| 61 | .B \-8
|
|---|
| 62 | allows an eight-bit input data path at all times;
|
|---|
| 63 | otherwise parity bits are stripped except when the remote side's
|
|---|
| 64 | stop and start characters are other than ^S/^Q.
|
|---|
| 65 | The argument
|
|---|
| 66 | .B \-L
|
|---|
| 67 | allows the rlogin session to be run in litout mode.
|
|---|
| 68 | A line of the form ``~.'' disconnects from the remote host, where
|
|---|
| 69 | ``~'' is the escape character.
|
|---|
| 70 | Similarly, the line ``~^Z'' (where ^Z, control-Z, is the suspend character)
|
|---|
| 71 | will suspend the rlogin session.
|
|---|
| 72 | Substitution of the delayed-suspend character (normally ^Y)
|
|---|
| 73 | for the suspend character suspends the send portion of the rlogin,
|
|---|
| 74 | but allows output from the remote system.
|
|---|
| 75 | A different escape character may
|
|---|
| 76 | be specified by the
|
|---|
| 77 | .B \-e
|
|---|
| 78 | option.
|
|---|
| 79 | There is no space separating this option flag and the argument
|
|---|
| 80 | character. With the
|
|---|
| 81 | .B \-E
|
|---|
| 82 | option the escape can be turned off.
