NAME¶

mrlogind — munge authenticated remote login server

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

Mrlogind is the server for the mrlogin(1) program. It is a modification of the rlogind server and uses munge authentication rather than reserved ports for security.

Options supported by mrlogind:

-a

Ask hostname for verification.

-n

Disable keep-alive messages.

-M

Specify alternate munge unix domain path.

-V

Output package and protocol version.

Mrlogind listens for service requests at the port indicated in the ``mlogin'' service specification; see services(5). If no ``mlogin'' service specification exits, it falls back to port 541/tcp.

Transport-level keepalive messages are enabled unless the -n option is present. The use of keepalive messages allows sessions to be timed out if the client crashes or becomes unreachable.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

All errors are logged via the syslog (3) library. Administrators should check the log files for details regarding errors. Error messages send to the user are intentionally ambiguous, so that details about state information cannot be interpreted.
