RLOGIN(1) BSD General Commands Manual RLOGIN(1)

NAME
     rrllooggiinn - remote login

SYNOPSIS
     rrllooggiinn [-88EELLdd] [-ee char] [-kk realm] [-ll username] host
     rrllooggiinn [-88EELLdd] [-ee char] username@host

DESCRIPTION
     RRllooggiinn starts a terminal session on a remote host host.

     RRllooggiinn first attempts to use the standard Berkeley rhosts authorization
     mechanism.  The options are as follows:

     -88    The -88 option allows 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 .

     -EE    The -EE option stops any character from being recognized as an
           escape character.  When used with the -88 option, this provides a
           completely transparent connection.

     -LL    The -LL option allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout''
           (see tty(4)) mode.

     -dd    The -dd option turns on socket debugging (see setsockopt(2)) on the
           TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.

     -ee    The -ee option allows 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.

     A line of the form ``.'' disconnects from the remote host.
     Similarly, the line ``^Z'' will suspend the rrllooggiinn session,
     and ``'' suspends the send portion of
     the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system.  By default, the
     tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and normally control-Y
     (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character.

     All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
     the rrllooggiinn 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 rrllooggiinn:

     TERM  Determines the user's terminal type.

HISTORY     The rrllooggiinn command appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS
     RRllooggiinn will be replaced by telnet(1) in the near future.

     More of the environment should be propagated.
