Command Description
------- -----------
rlogin hostname Initiate a login on a remote host.
rlogin hostname -l login_name Initiate a login on a remote host to
a specific login name.
rlogin -8 hostname Initiate an 8-bit clean rlogin to a
remote host.
The rlogin command initiates a login on a remote host across a local
network. The command takes the remote system name as an argument:
world% rlogin hostname
For example, if you were on another account and wanted to reach your
account on The World, you would type:
world% rlogin world
If you use a different login name on the other host and The World, you
would need to specify the login name used on the machine you rlogin to:
world% rlogin hostname -l login_name
If you will be using rlogin to connect to a site that you'll be doing
anything other than reading plain text on-line, you'll need to establish
your rlogin connection in 8-bit clean mode. Rlogin strips off the eigth
bit which is not a problem for plain text files, but will pose problems
if you attempt downloads or run software over the connection. To rlogin
in 8-bit clean mode, type:
world% rlogin -8 host.name
