Rlogin

Explanation:
Secure Shell (SSH) works as a type of tunneling mechanism that delivers terminal like access to remote

Incorrect Answers:
A: S-Telnet is only used for IBM 5250 data streams.
B: SSL is supported for Telnet implementations.
C: Rlogin is a software utility for Unix-like computer operating systems that enables users to log in on another
host via a network. It is, however, less secure that SSH.
