WARNINGS

For security purposes, the /etc/hosts.equiv

and .rhosts ﬁles should exist, even if they are empty.

These ﬁles should be readable and writable only by the owner. See hosts.equiv(4) for more information.

Note that all the information, including any passwords asked for, is passed unencrypted between the two

hosts. In a Kerberos V5 Network Authentication environment, a password is not transmitted across the

network, so it will be protected.

rlogin is unable to transmit the Break key as an interrupt signal to the remote system, regardless of

whether the user has set stty brkint on the local system. The key assigned to

SIGINT with the com-

mand

stty intr c should be used instead (see stty(1)).
