B.1 Logging in from a remote node

There are several ways to log into a remote node. Here are a few of them. From Unix or DEC-Ultrix:
% telnet node_name

% telnet isass0

% telnet node_number

% telnet 192.68.162.109

% rlogin node

% rlogin isass2

% rlogin node -l username

% rlogin isass2 -l morrison
From DEC-Ultrix:
% dlogin node

% dlogin 24707::

% dlogin 24.131
From VMS:
$ set host node

$ set host 24707

$ set host sag
When using TELNET, DLOGIN, and SET HOST you will be prompted for the username and password of the account you want to log into. For RLOGIN, it will check the file .rhosts to see if the account and machine that you are logging in from should automatically log you into the remote account. A sample .rhost line is:

sxt1.space.lockheed.com         morrison        #  DECstation 5000
