Sage advice, but one our companies products supports a system integration (via
rlogin) with infrastructure installed decades ago, and is not going away and
cannot be changed. One, it’s not in our purview to change this, two the
equipment operates in what is considered a trusted environment. ie not my
choice, not my design, not in my control. But, having had to deal with this
over the years has given me great appreciation for the sentiment you convey.

My goal is to have rlogin connect to a higher randomly selected port, but the
rlogin client provided on macOS does not appear to have a flag to specify an
alternate port. I want to rebuild the rlogin client with this functionality
grafted on. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
