Rlogin

There is another command you might use and we will get into this elsewhere as we get into using rlogin to login to a system without a password.

For now read the man pages on rlogin by using the man rlogin from your shell account.

The basic command would be :

rlogin -l username hostname
connecting....
password:

bash$

Rlogin requires the user to have a file in their home directory that tells what system they can receive the rlogin from. In this file .rhosts it would look like this:

username hostname (or) hostname

if you were to add to this file + + it would let any user from any host login without a password.

The file would look like this:

----- cut here ------
+ +
_____ cut here ------

if they already had entry's you could add the + + under their host names, but remember now they would notice seeing they would now be able to rlogin without the password. You would be targeting people that did not already have a .rhosts file.
