      NAME
           rlogin - remote login

      SYNTAX
           rlogin rhost [ -ec ] [ -8 ] [ -l username ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Rlogin connects your terminal on the current local host
           system lhost to the remote host system rhost.

           Each host has a file /etc/hosts.equiv which contains a list
           of rhost's with which it shares account names.  (The host
           names must be the standard names as described in rsh(1).)
           When you rlogin as the same user on an equivalent host, you
           don't need to give a password.  Each user may also have a
           private equivalence list in a .rhosts file in his login
           directory.  Each line in this file should contain an rhost
           and a username separated by a space, giving additional cases
           where logins without passwords are to be permitted.  If the
           originating user is not equivalent to the remote user, then
           a login and password will be prompted for on the remote
           machine as in login(1).  To avoid some security problems,
           the .rhosts file must be owned by either the remote user or
           root and may not be a symbolic link.

           All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except
           for delays) the rlogin is transparent.  Flow control via ^S
           and ^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts are
           handled properly.  The optional argument -8 allows an
           eight-bit data path, otherwise parity bits are stripped.  A
           line of the form ``~.'' disconnects from the remote host,
           where ``~'' is the escape character.  A different escape
           character may be specified by the -e option.  There is no
           space separating this option flag and the argument
           character.
