RLOGIN(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual RLOGIN(1)

NAME
rlogin -- remote login

SYNOPSIS
rlogin [-468DEd] [-e char] [-i localname] [-l username] host

DESCRIPTION
The rlogin utility starts a terminal session on a remote host host.

The standard Berkeley rhosts authorization mechanism is used.

The following options are available:

-4 Use IPv4 addresses only.

-6 Use IPv6 addresses only.

-8 Allow an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise parity
bits are stripped except when the remote side's stop and start
characters are other than ^S/^Q.

-D Set the TCP_NODELAY socket option which can improve interactive
response at the expense of increased network load.

-E Stop any character from being recognized as an escape character.
When used with the -8 option, this provides a completely transpar-
ent connection.

-d Turn on socket debugging (see setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets
used for communication with the remote host.

-e Allow user specification of the escape character, which is ``~'' by
default. This specification may be as a literal character, or as
an octal value in the form \nnn.

-i Allow the caller to specify a different local name to be used for
authentication. This option is restricted to processes with uid 0.

-l Specify a different username for the remote login. If this option
is not specified, your local username will be used.

A line of the form ``<escape char>.'' disconnects from the remote host.
Similarly, the line ``<escape char>^Z'' will suspend the rlogin session,
and ``<escape char><delayed-suspend char>'' suspends the send portion of
the rlogin session, but allows output from the remote system. By
default, the tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and nor-
mally control-Y (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character.

All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
the rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input
and output on interrupts are handled properly.

ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by rlogin:

TERM Determines the user's terminal type.

IPv6 support was added by WIDE/KAME project.

BUGS
The rlogin utility will be replaced by telnet(1) in the near future.

More of the environment should be propagated.
