[cisco-nas] Newbie - Odd probs with AS5300 - double login on text

[Aaron Leonard]

Hi Charles,

Not sure that I've read your question correctly,
but I assume that you're talking about using the
rlogin protocol between the AS5300 and the *nix hosts.

I assume that the way you want this to work is for a user to login
into the AS5300 under some username - say "aaron" - then issue the
'rlogin FOO' and then have the rlogin server on host FOO
automatically log the user in as "aaron" without reprompting for a
username.

If my assumptions are correct, then what you are looking for 
is the command "rlogin trusted-localuser-source local".

With this obscure command in effect, the IOS rlogin client 
will present the line's authenticated username to the 
rlogin server as the username.  Absent this command
(or if rlogin client's line lacks an authenticated
username), the IOS rlogin client will present "ciscoTS"
as the username.

Cheers,

Aaron
