Rlogin - Digi PortServer/8 User Manual

The rlogin command logs a user into a remote system.
syntax: rlogin hostipaddr|hostname [options]
options: [ user= username]
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
file.
/etc/hosts.equiv
Options:
username
user=
You may specify another username for the remote login session; otherwise, the
remote username used is the same as your local username.
escape_character
esc=
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 ( ^ ) must be used to indicate
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.
