| ====== RLogin ====== | ====== RLogin Gateway ====== |
| The Synchronet RLogin module (''[[dir:exec]]/rlogin.js'') is used to create an outbound proxy gateway connection between a Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server user and a remote server using the BSD Rlogin protocol ([[RFC>1282]]) over TCP (traditionally, TCP port 513). The BBS user can be connected to the host BBS using any supported terminal protocol (Telnet, RLogin, or SSH). | The Synchronet RLogin module (''[[dir:exec]]/rlogin.js'') is used to create an outbound proxy gateway connection between a Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server user and a remote server using the BSD Rlogin protocol ([[RFC>1282]]) over TCP (traditionally, TCP port 513).

| ?rlogin <address>[:port] [mode] | ?rlogin <address>[:port] [mode] [client-name] [server-name] [terminal-type] |
| |
| Where: | Where: |
| * ''<address>'' is the IPv4 address or host name to connect to | * ''<address>'' is the IPv4 address or host name to connect to |
| * ''[:port]'' is the TCP port number to connect to (default is 513) | * ''[:port]'' is the TCP port number to connect to (default is ''513'') |
| * ''[mode]'' is an optional set of one or more [[:module:telgate#mode|telgate mode flags]] (''TG_*'') separated by pipe (''|'') symbols | * ''[mode]'' is an optional set of one or more [[:module:telgate#mode|telgate mode flags]] (''TG_*'') separated by pipe (''|'') symbols (default is ''0'') |
| | * ''[client-name]'' is an optional client-side username to include in the RLogin negotiation (default is current user's alias) |
| | * ''[server-name]'' is an optional server-side username to include in the RLogin negotiation (default is current user's real name) |
| | * ''[terminal-type]'' is an optional terminal type to include in the RLogin negotiation (default is current detected terminal type) |

| | ==== Auto-Login ==== |
| |
| | For automated logins, [[server:Terminal#RLogin|Synchronet RLogin Server]] requires the //client-user-name// to be a valid user password, and the //server-user-name// to be a valid user ID (e.g. alias) which corresponds with the password. |
| | |
| | Other RLogin servers (e.g. door game servers) may have different requirements for automated logins (e.g. no password). |
