r
rlogin(1) rlogin(1)
(Kerberos)
login/tcp: Unknown service
rlogin
was unable to find the login service listed in the
/etc/services
database file.
There is no entry for you (user ID
username) in /etc/passwd
rlogin
was unable to find your user ID in the password file.
Next Step: Contact your system administrator.
system call:...
An error occurred when rlogin attempted the indicated system call. See the appropriate manual
entry for information about the error.
rcmd: connect <hostname>: Connection refused.
One cause for display of this generic error message could be due to the absence of an entry for login in
/etc/inetd.conf on the remote system. This entry may have been removed or commented out to
prevent non-secure access.
Kerberos-specific errors are listed in sis(5).
EXAMPLES
Log in as the same user on the remote host
remote:
rlogin remote
Set the escape character to a !, use a seven-bit data connection, and attempt a login as user
guest on
host
remhost:
rlogin remhost -e! -7 -l guest
Assuming that your system administrator has set up the links in
/usr/hosts , the following is equivalent
to the previous command:
remhost -e! -7 -l guest
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 also that all information, including passwords, 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)).
