RLogin options






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.

Stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.  When used with the option above, this provides a completely transparent connection.

Turns off all Kerberos authentication. So you will be using the standard Berkeley .rhosts authorization mechanism instead.

Allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout'' mode.

Turns on socket debugging on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.

Set the initial escape character to: ___ . With this option, you replace ``~'' - the default escape character.  This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal value in the form \nnn. (eg: \099)

Request Kerberos tickets for the remote host in the realm: _____. The option requests rlogin to obtain tickets for the remote host in the specified realm instead of the remote host's realm as determined by krb_realmofhost.

Turns on DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption for all data passed via the rlogin session.  This may impact response time and CPU utilization, but provides increased security.

Note from RLogin manual on Kerberos Authentication:

Each user may have a private authorization list in the file .klogin in their home directory.  Each line in this file should contain a Kerberos principal name of the form principal.instance@realm. If the originating user is authenticated to one of the principals named in .klogin, access is granted to the account.  The principal accountname.@localrealm is granted access if there is no .klogin file.  Otherwise a login and password will be prompted for on the remote machine as in login.  To avoid certain security problems, the .klogin file must be owned by the remote user. If Kerberos authentication fails, a warning message is printed and the standard Berkeley rlogin is used instead.
