Remote login
 

$rlogin host2
$uname -n
$pwd
$exit





$rlogin - l user2 host2
$password:
$pwd
$uname -n
$exit


Those above commands said to be use for remote login.
What is the use of uname -n and pwd commands. In the first one, there is no password. Why is that?

In the second one, the switch - l is doing nothing, as far as I can see.

Could you help me?

I can help with some questions:

1) uname -n prints the node name of the host
2) pwd prints your Present Working Directory

If you want to do remote logins you should really use ssh; it uses a secure connection while rlogin does not.

For the best of my knowledge, people use telnet program for login.

I hope someone else will reply me with some details to my question.

Sure people use telnet but for remote logins (especially over the internet) ssh is better since it is more secure than telnet/rlogin.
