	Hello, folks!  I'm wondering which one of the following is better for
the local host when we want to remote login.

	(1) xterm -e rlogin remote_machine &
		This opens up the xterm window by the local host process.
		Then it just use rlogin.  The same strategy as the kernel-based
		system such as SunView.

	(2) rsh remote_machine 'xterm -display localhost:0' &
		This invokes rsh command.  A disadvantage is that .login is not
		executed on the remote_machine.

Except the disadvantage of (2), (2) is slightly lighter(i.e. better), I think.
Could you give me some comments?  Is (2) really better than (1)?  Is there any
way to solve the disadvantage of (2)?

Thanks in advance,
