I have a need to build rlogin to allow it to connect to a rlogin server accessible on a non-standard specific port. I’m sure you’ve already considered this, but it’s worth having it in the mailing list archives anyway: rlogin is generally not a good idea, and unless there is some overwhelming reason why you can’t use it, ssh or slogin is a much better plan.

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.

If you can replace the use of rlogin, with one of the latter two, it will save you the trouble of building it.

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. Thanks, Sandor

Kind regards,

Alastair.
