RLOGIN protocol

Short for remote login, you can use the RLOGIN protocol to establish a remote connection to run X applications. It allows an authorized user to log into hosts on a network and to interact as if the user were physically at the host computer. RLOGIN is similar to TELNET. A benefit of RLOGIN is its ability to reference a file called .rhosts, which resides on the host and maintains a list of terminals allowed to login without a password. You can select this startup method in Xstart.
