Remote Password Screen of the computer












Hello friends in this post i am going to tell you one of the most important concept of networking that is Remote Login.Here in this post i will tell you what the Remote Login is,how it works and many other things related to it.

In simple words Remote Login means to access other computers on the network or on the other network by the use of telnet or rlogin command.In other words we can also say that Remote Login means to access native computer from the other computer on the network when you are connected to the internet.Generally there are two protocols that are used for Remote Login:
1.RLOGIN Protocol Overview
2.TELNET Protocol Overview

For using the TELNET command for remote login the syntax is:

-->telnet hostname

After connecting with the remote host, you will be prompted for your login id and your password just as if you were logging on via a terminal on that system.


For using the RLOGIN command for remote login the syntax is:

-->rlogin hostname

This command provides an advantage over the telnet command that is here in this command you can specify a username on the command line, and can set it up so that when you rlogin to a host you will not be prompted for a password. Rlogin assumes you wish to login to an account with the same name as the account you are presently logged in as. If you wish to change this, use the -l option.
