✨ rlogin — remote login ✨

okay so this is the manual page for rlogin from the rsh-redone suite (that's section 1 of the manual, bestie, the "user commands" section 💅). buckle up, it's a whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rlogin [-46v] [-l user] [-p port] [user@]host

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically rlogin opens up a connection to the remote login daemon that's chillin' over on host. once that connection is made, you can log in. that's it, that's the whole point 🫶

after that? everything you type gets transmitted to the remote machine, and everything the remote machine spits out comes right back to the rlogin client running on your local machine. you get a full controlling terminal on the remote host — like you're sitting there fr fr. main character energy, but on someone else's computer 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -4 — only use IPv4 to connect to the remote host. no IPv6 allowed, we're keeping it classic.
  • -6 — only use IPv6 to connect to the remote host. it's giving modern, it's giving future 🦋
  • -v — be verbose. not me wanting ALL the details, but okay periodt 💅
  • -l user — connect to the remote machine as a different user than the one you are on the local machine. glow-up, but for your username ✨
  • -p port — connect to a different port than the default one for rlogin. the default port was simply not the moment, apparently 🙈
