nlogin(PADM)
nlogin --
remote login via IPX and NVT
Syntax
nlogin [-v] host
Description
The nlogin command connects your terminal on the
current local host system to the remote host system,
host. This command is very similar to the
rlogin(TC)
command, one of the standard TCP/IP utilities,
except that nlogin can only connect to
NVT servers. NVT server availability
can be determined by using the
showsvcs(PADM)
command.
After executing nlogin, the remote host displays
its login prompt; log in as normal.
To disconnect from the remote host, enter ~.
(a tilde followed by a period). Similarly, if you are
running a shell on the local host that can perform job
control, enter ~<Ctrl>Z (or the value
of susp; see
stty(C)
for details) to suspend the nlogin session and
return control to the shell on the local host.
Note that suspending a connection in this manner may result in
the connection being lost if it is suspended for too long.
For more information, refer to the nvt_tune.h file.
All echoing takes place at the remote site;
consequently, except for delays, the remote login is transparent.
Flow control, using <Ctrl>S and <Ctrl>Q, and
flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly.
The options are interpreted as follows:
-v-
print the IPX address of host after its
IPX address has been determined
