  37 .Sh NAME
  38 .Nm rlogin
  39 .Nd remote login
  40 .Sh SYNOPSIS
  41 .Nm rlogin
  42 .Op Fl 8ELd
  43 .Op Fl e Ar char
  44 .Op Fl k Ar realm
  45 .Op Fl l Ar username
  46 .Ar host

  51 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  52 .Nm Rlogin
  53 starts a terminal session on a remote host
  54 .Ar host  .
  55 .Pp
  56 .Nm Rlogin
  57 first attempts to use the standard Berkeley
  58 .Pa rhosts
  59 authorization mechanism.
  60 The options are as follows:
  61 .Bl -tag -width flag
  62 .It Fl 8
  63 The
  64 .Fl 8
  65 option allows an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise
  66 parity bits are stripped except when the remote side's stop and start
  67 characters are other than
  68 ^S/^Q .
  69 .It Fl E
  70 The
  71 .Fl E
  72 option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
  73 When used with the
  74 .Fl 8
  75 option, this provides a completely transparent connection.
  76 .It Fl L
  77 The
  78 .Fl L
  79 option allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout'' (see
  80 .Xr tty 4 )
  81 mode.
  82 .It Fl d
  83 The
  84 .Fl d
  85 option turns on socket debugging (see
  86 .Xr setsockopt 2 )
  87 on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
  88 .It Fl e
  89 The
  90 .Fl e
  91 option allows user specification of the escape character, which is
  92 ``~'' by default.
  93 This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal
  94 value in the form \ennn.
  95 .El
  96 .Pp
  97 A line of the form ``<escape char>.'' disconnects from the remote host.
  98 Similarly, the line ``<escape char>^Z'' will suspend the
  99 .Nm rlogin
 100 session, and ``<escape char><delayed-suspend char>'' suspends the
 101 send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system.
 102 By default, the tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and
 103 normally control-Y (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character.
 104 .Pp
 105 All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
 106 the
 107 .Nm rlogin
 108 is transparent.
 109 Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts
 110 are handled properly.
 111 .Sh ENVIRONMENT
 112 The following environment variable is utilized by
 113 .Nm rlogin :
 114 .Bl -tag -width TERM
 115 .It Ev TERM
 116 Determines the user's terminal type.

 120 .Sh HISTORY
 121 The
 122 .Nm rlogin
 123 command appeared in
 124 .Bx 4.2 .
 125 .Sh BUGS
 126 .Nm Rlogin
 127 will be replaced by
 128 .Xr telnet  1
 129 in the near future.
 130 .Pp
 131 More of the environment should be propagated.
