Sure you can.  If you get a TERM type, you're rlogin, if not, itza
telnet.  But, the original request was for rlogin, so read on....

| : {$pty:=`basename $tty`}

| ##
| # Is this a pty (e.g. not console, dialup, or serial port
| 
| if echo $pty | grep ttyp > /dev/null 2>&1  ## Note Yuck!  Echo|grep??
| ## Also, if you have lots of ptys, you will need to search for
| ## more pseudo terminals than ttyp (e.g. ttyr ttys, etc.)
| 
|  then
| # Is this a login shell? (e.g. not su, not suntools, not emacs)
|   if basename $0 | grep -e "-ksh" > /dev/null 2>&1  ## Less yucky than before
|    then
|     echo This is a a remote session.
|     echo That is because is on a pseudo-terminal and was started
|     echo by login.  \(But not necessarily a rlogin\)
|    fi
|  fi

Too many processes... try:

case "$TERM" in
sun)
	case `tty` in
	*ttyp*)
		/usr/5bin/echo "\\033]lRLOGIN:`hostname`\\033\\\\";;
	esac;;
esac

NEVER EVER EVER make your .profile slow!  You'll regret it, over and
over again.

Just another UNIX (and now Sun) hacker...
