If the remote host does not supporting Kerberos the standard Berkeley .Pa rhosts authorization mechanism is used. The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width flag .It Fl 8 The .Fl 8 option allows an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise parity bits are stripped except when the remote side's stop and start characters are other than ^S/^Q . .It Fl E The .Fl E option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character. When used with the .Fl 8 option, this provides a completely transparent connection. .It Fl K The .Fl K option turns off all Kerberos authentication. .It Fl L The .Fl L option allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout'' (see .Xr tty 4 ) mode. .It Fl d The .Fl d option turns on socket debugging (see .Xr setsockopt 2 ) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host. .It Fl e The .Fl e option allows user specification of the escape character, which is ``~'' by default. This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal value in the form \ennn. .It Fl k The .FL k option requests rlogin to obtain tickets for the remote host in realm .Ar realm instead of the remote host's realm as determined by .Xr krb_realmofhost 3 . .It Fl x The .Fl x option turns on .Tn DES encryption for all data passed via the rlogin session. This may impact response time and .Tn CPU utilization, but provides increased security. .El .Pp A line of the form ``.'' disconnects from the remote host. Similarly, the line ``^Z'' will suspend the .Nm rlogin session, and ``'' suspends the send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system. By default, the tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and normally control-Y (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character. .Pp All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays) the .Nm rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly. .Sh KERBEROS AUTHENTICATION Each user may have a private authorization list in the file .Pa .klogin in their home directory. Each line in this file should contain a Kerberos principal name of the form .Ar principal.instance@realm . If the originating user is authenticated to one of the principals named in .Pa .klogin , access is granted to the account. The principal .Ar accountname.@localrealm is granted access if there is no .Pa .klogin file. Otherwise a login and password will be prompted for on the remote machine as in .Xr login 1 . To avoid certain security problems, the .Pa .klogin file must be owned by the remote user. .Pp If Kerberos authentication fails, a warning message is printed and the standard Berkeley .Nm rlogin is used instead. .Sh ENVIRONMENT The following environment variable is utilized by .Nm rlogin : .Bl -tag -width TERM .It Ev TERM Determines the user's terminal type. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr rsh 1 , .Xr kerberos 3 , .Xr krb_sendauth 3 , .Xr krb_realmofhost 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm rlogin command appeared in .Bx 4.2 . .Sh BUGS .Nm Rlogin will be replaced by .Xr telnet 1 in the near future. .Pp More of the environment should be propagated.
