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.
