TCP/IP commands for emulation
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) software includes the telnet and rlogin commands, which allow you to connect to and access a remote TCP/IP system.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| telnet | Allows a user to log in to a remote host by implementing the TELNET protocol. It is different from the rlogin command in that it is a trusted command. A trusted command is one that meets all security levels configured on your computer. Systems that require extra security should allow only trusted commands. Standards for trusted commands, processes, and programs are set and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. |
| tn | Performs the same function as the telnet command. |
| rlogin | Allows a user to log in to a remote host. It is different from the telnet command in that it is a nontrusted command and can be disabled if your system needs extra security. |
