rlogin
The rlogin command logs a user into a remote system.
syntax: rlogin hostipaddr|hostname [options]
options: [user=username][esc=escape_char]
To avoid entering your password when logging into a remote system, you may put the
PortServer's node name in the .rhosts file. You may also ask the remote system administrator
to make passwords globally unnecessary by entering the PortServer's node name in the remote
hosts /etc/hosts.equiv file.
Options:
user=username
You may specify another username for the remote login session; otherwise, the
remote username used is the same as your local username.
esc=escape_character
You may specify a different escape character for disconnecting from the remote host.
Normally you would close an rlogin session by typing “<CR> ~ .” (That is three
keystrokes: Carriage Return key / Tilde key / period key.) Use esc= to change the
tilde character (“~”) in this context.
If the character is a control character, the carat character (^)mustbeusedtoindicate
that the Ctrl key should be held while pressing the key. (For example, <Ctrl-C> must
be entered as the two characters ^C.)
Once you are connected via rlogin, you can escape back to PortServer command mode by
replacing the period in the rlogin escape sequence with your telnet escape character, followed
by a carriage return. You may also type your telnet escape character followed by a digit to switch
to an alternate telnet session.
