XRLOGIN(1)					     XRLOGIN(1)

NAME
       xrlogin	-  start  an  xterm that uses rlogin or telnet to
       connect to a remote host

SYNOPSIS
       xrlogin [-l username] [-telnet]	[xterm	options]  remote-
       host

DESCRIPTION
       Xrlogin opens an xterm window and runs rlogin or telnet to
       login to a remote host.

       Xrlogin automatically passes the -name argument	to  xterm
       with  a	value  of  "xterm-hostname" where hostname is the
       name of the remote host. This allows the user to	 specify
       resources  in  their  server's  resource manager which are
       specific to xterms from a given host.  For  example,  this
       feature	can  be used to make all xterm windows to a given
       remote host be the same color or use a  specific font  or
       start  up  in  a specific  place	 on the screen.	 Xrsh(1)
       passes the same string so  they	are  compatible in  this
       regard.

       Xrlogin specifies that the default title for the new xterm
       will be "hostname" where hostname  is  the  name	 of  the
       remote  host.   This  and  the -name argument above can be
       overridden with xterm-options on the command line.

       One could also use xrlogin's  sister  command  xrsh(1)  to
       open  a window to a remote host. In the case of xrsh, the
       xterm would run on the remote host and use X as	the  con-
       nection	protocol while xrlogin would run the xterm on the
       local host and use rlogin or telnet as the connection pro-
       tocol.  See xrsh(1) for a discussion of the merits of each
       scheme.

OPTIONS
       -l username
	      When not using -telnet, use username as the  id  to
	      login to the remote host.

       -telnet
	      Use  the	-telnet protocol  to open the connection
	      instead of rlogin.  In general rlogin is	preferred
	      because it can be configured to not prompt the user
	      for a password.  Rlogin also  automatically  propa-
	      gates  window size change signals (SIGWINCH) to the
	      remote host so that applications running there will
	      learn of a new window size.  Use of telnet provided
	      mostly for hosts that don't support rlogin.

COMMON PROBLEMS
       Make sure that the local host is specified in the  .rhosts
       file   on   the	remote	host  or  in  the  remote  hosts

	      remote host yoda using rlogin.

       xrlogin -telnet c70
	      Open a local xterm which	connects  to  the  remote
