RLOGIN(1) NetBSD General Commands Manual RLOGIN(1)
NAME
rlogin -- remote login
SYNOPSIS
rlogin [-468dEn] [-e char] [-l username] [-p port] host rlogin [-468dEn] [-e char] [-p port] username@host
DESCRIPTION
rlogin starts a terminal session on a remote host host. rlogin first attempts to use the standard Berkeley rhosts authorization mechanism. The options are as follows: -4 Use IPv4 addresses only. -6 Use IPv6 addresses only. -8 The -8 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'. -d The -d option turns on socket debugging (see setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host. -E The -E option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character. When used with the -8 option, this provides a completely transparent connection. -e char The -e option allows user specification of the escape char- acter, which is ``~'' by default. This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal value in the form \nnn. -l username the -l option specifies an alternate username for the remote login. If this option is not specified, your local username will be used. -n Set the TCP_NODELAY socket option, which can improve inter- active responsiveness at the possible downside of increased network load. -p port Uses the given port instead of the one assigned to the ser- vice ``login''. May be given either as symbolic name or as number. 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, 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 rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly.
