Problems with rlogin

henriette · 10-08-2003, 06:46 AM

Hello. I have a problem with rlogin. I trying to connect to a computer on our internal network, but when I do this I get to following message:

$rlogin XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
bash: rlogin: command not found

So, I figure that rlogin is not installed. How do I do this?

Maybe rlogin isn't installed for a good reason (security). I have the feeling you are not the sysadmin. Ask him/her why it isn't installed.

ssh/scp could (should) be installed. Syntax is almost simular (take a look at the man pages):

$ ssh www.xxx.yyy.zzz
or
$ ssh -l <username> www.xxx.yyy.zzz

I am actually sysamin since its on my own computer the problem exists. I know its a security issue but the computer I want to connect to doesn't accept ssh. What I'm doing right now is connect to one computer using ssh and then connecting to the one I actually want to connect to using rlogin - which is kind of silly........

Ok, in that case:

They (rlogin, rsh) can be downloaded just about everywhere. Do a google search on:

rsh rlogin download <distro>

You should get enough hits, but to make it a bit easy on you:

suse: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/
