rlogin

[Peter Murray]

The key part of information you didn't send in your message is what web 
browsers on what platforms you are using.  I suspect, though, that the 
answer is "every browser on every platform" because your page is meant 
for public access.

The RLOGIN scheme works on UNIX boxes and maybe some MS-windows setups, 
but you'll find that most browsers don't know how to handle "RLOGIN" 
connections and just treat them as "TELNET" connections.  When the 
browsers do that, they loose the login name that you wish them to use.

You already have the instructions in your banner for users to type the 
"ccplcat" login name; hopefully that will be enough.  That is probably 
the best you can do with out doing some programming tricks on the server 
end (eg, telnetting to a different port on cumberland.lib.nc.us that will 
be programmed to automatically log the user into your system)...
