Registering Hosts To Use Rlogin And Rcp; Using Rlogin - Avaya S6200 Administration And Maintenance

Registering Hosts to Use rlogin and rcp

To use rlogin and rcp, each remote host's /etc/hosts file must contain information for the system,
and the system's /etc/hosts file and /etc/rhosts files must contain information for each remote
host.
To register local and remote hosts:
1. Add the remote host(s) to the system's hosts file (see
page 126).
2. Add the local host System Name and IP address to the hosts file of your remote host(s).
Consult your TCP/IP documentation for proper setup.
3. Add the remote host's name and login name, separated by a space, to the system's rhosts
file. This provides the remote host(s) with instant access to the host system (no guest
password required).
4. You may add several hosts, but be sure to place each entry on a separate line. If you are
unfamiliar with standard Linux editors such as "vi", you can easily add an entry by entering:
echo 'sysname username' >> .rhosts
where sysname and username are the names of your remote host.

Using rlogin

The rlogin command is one of the standard "r" commands supported by many TCP/IP platforms
for logging in to a host. It provides greater security than telnet by requiring hosts to be registered
with each other.
The system uses tcp port 513 for rlogin requests. This is a standard port number and should be
compatible with your software (that is, your remote host's software should use this port to issue
telnet requests to the system).
The rlogin command uses the following syntax (bracketed arguments are optional):
rlogin host [-ec] [-8] [-llogin
where: host
[-ec]
[-8]
[- l login]
Represents the name of the S6200/S6800 Media Server host to
which you want to log in.
c represents the character you want to use as the escape character.
(Default is tilde ~)
Enables 8-bit transmission of data to facilitate communication with
hosts using an 8-bit character set such as the Asian or European
character sets.
login is the name of the S6200/S6800 Media Server account to which
you want to log in. (The current login name on your system is
assumed if this option is waived.)
