What were you trying to do?
I would like to rlogin into a remote computer that does not
use Kerberos authentication.
What's wrong:
The standard rlogin always tries to do Kerberos authentication
before resorting to the UCB rlogin. This causing about a minute
in delay and an error message to be displayed before the UCB rlogin
is tried.
What should have happened:
I think there should be an option to force rlogin to
do UCB rlogin without first trying Kerberos authentication.
I would have just aliasied the rlogin command to rlogin.ucb except
that on different platforms the UCB rlogin command is found in:
/usr/ucb/rlogin.ucb /usr/bin/rlogin.ucb /usr/ucb/rlogin
and maybe more.
Also, this option should be available on the Athena versions
of rsh and rcp.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man page on rlogin doesn't say anything about such
an option if it exists and I don't know about it.
