Name
rlogind
Synopsis
in.rlogind [options]TCP/IP command. Server for the rlogin program, providing a remote login facility, with authentication based on privileged port numbers from trusted hosts. rlogind is invoked by inetd when a remote login connection is requested, and executes the following protocol:
The server checks the client’s source port. If the port is not in the range 512-1023, the server aborts the connection.
The server checks the client’s source address and requests the corresponding hostname. If the hostname cannot be determined, the dot-notation representation of the host address is used.
The login process propagates the client terminal’s baud rate and terminal type as found in the TERM environment variable.
