Class rlogin

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.net.examples.unix.rlogin

public final class rlogin extends Object
This is an example program demonstrating how to use the RLoginClient class. This program connects to an rlogin daemon and begins to interactively read input from stdin (this will be line buffered on most systems, so don't expect character at a time interactivity), passing it to the remote login process and writing the remote stdout and stderr to local stdout. If you don't have .rhosts or hosts.equiv files set up, the rlogin daemon will prompt you for a password.

On Unix systems you will not be able to use the rshell capability unless the process runs as root since only root can bind port addresses lower than 1024.

JVM's using green threads will likely have problems if the rlogin daemon requests a password. This program is merely a demonstration and is not suitable for use as an application, especially given that it relies on line buffered input from System.in. The best way to run this example is probably from a Win95 dos box into a Unix host.

Example: java rlogin myhost localusername remoteusername vt100

Usage: rlogin
