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