28 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
29 | .I Rlogin | |
30 | connects your terminal on the current local host system | |
31 | .I lhost | |
32 | to the remote host system | |
33 | .I rhost. | |
34 | .PP | |
35 | Each host has a file | |
36 | .I /etc/hosts.equiv | |
37 | which contains a list of \fIrhost\fR's with which it shares account names. | |
38 | (The host names must be the standard names as described in | |
39 | .IR rsh (1C).) | |
40 | When you | |
41 | .I rlogin | |
42 | as the same user on an equivalent host, you don't need | |
43 | to give a password. | |
44 | Each user may also have a private equivalence list in a file \&.rhosts | |
45 | in his login directory. Each line in this file should contain a \fIrhost\fP | |
46 | and a \fIusername\fP separated by a space, giving additional cases | |
47 | where logins without passwords are to be permitted. | |
48 | If the originating user is not equivalent to the remote user, then | |
49 | a login and password will be prompted for on the remote machine as in | |
50 | .IR login (1). | |
51 | To avoid some security problems, the \&.rhosts file must be owned by | |
52 | either the remote user or root and may not be a symbolic link. | |
53 | .PP | |
54 | Your remote terminal type is the same as your local | |
55 | terminal type (as given in your environment TERM variable). | |
56 | All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for | |
57 | delays) the rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S and ^Q and | |
58 | flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly. | |

59 | The optional argument |
60 | .B \-8 | |
61 | allows an eight-bit data path, | |
62 | otherwise parity bits are stripped. | |
3f1cd9e6 | 63 | A line of the form ``~.'' disconnects from the remote host, where |
c4e935d1 KM |
64 | ``~'' is the escape character. |
65 | Similarly, the line ``~^Z'' (where ^Z, control-Z, is the suspend character) | |
66 | will suspend the rlogin session. | |
67 | Substitution of the delayed-suspend character (normally ^Y) | |
68 | for the suspend character suspends the send portion of the rlogin, | |
69 | but allows output from the remote system. | |
70 | A different escape character may | |
3f1cd9e6 KM |
71 | be specified by the |
72 | .B \-e | |
73 | option. | |
74 | There is no space separating this option flag and the argument | |
75 | character. | |
