Allows you to log in to a remote host over a TCP/IP connection and start an interactive terminal session by accessing the RLOGIN application.

Format

Parameter

IPhostname

Specifies the IP host name of the remote host.

IPaddress

Specifies an IP address of the remote host.

Description

The SET HOST/RLOGIN command allows you to log in to a remote host by invoking RLOGIN client software that runs on your system. Once you start the terminal session, you can enter commands interactively on the remote host. The parameter that specifies the remote host is either an IP host name or an IP address.

Qualifiers

/AUTHENTICATE

Specifies that Kerberos authentication should be used for acquiring access to the remote node.

/TERMINAL_TYPE=type

Sets the terminal emulator to one of the following terminal types: VT100, VT200, VT300, VT400, VT500.

/TRUNCATE_USERNAME

Specifies that the current user name should be truncated to 8 characters before attempting to connect to the remote node. The qualifier is required for communication with systems that limit the size of their login names to 8 characters. The /TRUNCATE_USERNAME qualifier is ignored if /USERNAME is specified.

/USERNAME=username

Specifies the user name for logging in to the remote node. The user name can be enclosed in quotes to preserve the case of the user name for case sensitive systems such as UNIX systems. If the /USERNAME qualifier is not specified, the default is the current user's user name.

Example

$ SET HOST/RLOGIN remotehst1
      

This example creates an RLOGIN connection to remote host remotehst1 over a TCP/IP connection.
