;; 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.")

The variable `rlogin-program' contains the name of the actual program to
