I got it to the stage where I can comfortably rlogin into my home machine from work, but no further. The main thing lacking is doing anything intelligent with the terminal type, and any documentation. I've been too busy to finish it -- the code just needs to be cleaned up a bit (eg comments added 8-) and terminal handling put in. I also want to do an RSH server using the code as a basis, and eventually RCP client & server. (RCP server really has to live inside the RSH server.) I've dropped the source files on toyvax.zl2tnm.gen.nz, diretory [.rlogind]. Please only get these if you're competant to compile it and figure out how to install it -- if I had time to answer queries about it I'd have time to finish the job and write an installation procedure and docs. Note that I do intend to finish the job -- I want this myself, but I can't see things letting up enough to spend some quality programming time on it for a month or three. Of course, if someone wants to offer an incentive.... -- Don Stokes, Network Manager, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. don@vuw.ac.nz(work) don@zl2tnm.gen.nz(home) +64 4 495-5052 Fax+64 4 471-5386
