;;; Commentary:

;; Support for remote logins using `rlogin'.

;; If you wish for rlogin mode to prompt you in the minibuffer for
;; passwords when a password prompt appears, just enter m-x send-invisible
;; and type in your line, or add `comint-watch-for-password-prompt' to
;; `comint-output-filter-functions'.

a pty is being used, and errors will result from using a pipe instead.")

  "Open a network login connection to HOST via the `rlogin' program.
Input is sent line-at-a-time to the remote connection.

Communication with the remote host is recorded in a buffer *rlogin-HOST*,
where HOST is the first word in the string ARGS.  If a prefix argument is
given and the buffer *rlogin-HOST* already exists, a new buffer with a
different connection will be made.

The variable `rlogin-program' contains the name of the actual program to
run.  It can be a relative or absolute path. 

The variable `rlogin-explicit-args' is a list of arguments to give to
the rlogin when starting.  They are added after any arguments given in ARGS.

If `rlogin-initially-track-cwd' is non-nil (which is true by default),
then the default directory in that buffer is set to a remote (FTP) file name
to access your home directory on the remote machine.  Occasionally
this causes an error, if you cannot access the home directory on that
machine.  This error is harmless as long as you don't try to use
that default directory."
