NAME
rlogin - remote login
SYNOPSIS
rlogin rhost [-7][-8][-ee][-l username]
rhost [-7][-8][-ee][-l username]
DESCRIPTION
The rlogin command connects your terminal on the local host to the remote host (rhost). rlogin acts
as a virtual terminal to the remote system. The host name rhost can be either the official name or an alias
as listed in the file /etc/hosts (see hosts(4)).
In a manner similar to the remsh command (see remsh(1)), rlogin allows a user to log in on an
equivalent remote host, rhost, bypassing the normal login/password sequence. For more information about
equivalent hosts and how to specify them in the files /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts, see
hosts.equiv(4). The searching of the files /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts occurs on the remote host,
and the .rhosts file must be owned by the remote user account.
If the originating user account is not equivalent to the remote user account, the originating user is
prompted for the password of the remote account. If this fails, a login name and password are prompted
for, as when login is used (see login(1)).
The terminal type specified by the current TERM environment variable is propagated across the network
and used to set the initial value of your TERM environment variable on the remote host. Your terminal
baud rate is also propagated to the remote host, and is required by some systems to set up the pseudo-
terminal used by rlogind (see rlogind(1M)).
All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays) the remote login is transparent.
If at any time rlogin is unable to read from or write to the socket connection on the remote host, the
message Connection closed is printed on standard error and rlogin exits.
Options
rlogin recognizes the following options. Note that the options follow the rhost argument.
-7 Set the character size to seven bits. The eighth bit of each byte sent is set to zero
(space parity).
-8 Use an eight-bit data path. This is the default HP-UX behavior.
To use eight-bit characters, the terminal must be configured to generate either eight-
bit characters with no parity, or seven bit characters with space parity. The HP-UX
implementation of rlogind (see rlogind(1M)) interprets seven bit characters with
even, odd, or mark parity as eight-bit non-USASCII characters. You may also need to
reconfigure the remote host appropriately (see stty(1) and tty(7)). Some remote hosts
may not provide the necessary support for eight-bit characters. In this case, or if it is
not possible to disable parity generation by the local terminal, use the
-7 option.
-ee Set the escape character to e. There is no space separating the option letter and the
argument character. To start a line with the escape character, two of the escape char-
acters must be entered. The default escape character is tilde (˜). Some characters
may conflict with your terminal configuration, such as ˆS, ˆQ, or backspace. Using
one of these as the escape character may not be possible or may cause problems com-
municating with the remote host (see stty(1) and tty(7)).
-l username Set the user login name on the remote host to username. The default name is the
current account name of the user invoking rlogin.
Escape Sequences
rlogin can be controlled with two-character escape sequences, in the form ex, where e is the escape char-
acter and x is a code character described below. Escape sequences are recognized only at the beginning of a
line of input. The default escape character is tilde (˜). It can be changed with the -e option.
The following escape sequences are recognized:
ey If y is NOT a code character described below, pass the escape character and y as characters to
the remote host.
