[ale] Question for UNIX/Linux gurus...

I have an idea. You modified your remote .profile or .kshrc or alike on
before you rlogin, such that you will be cd to the local dirname
you are at upon a succesful login.

On local machine, you have a wrapper like this:
	localCWD=`pwd`
	rsh remoteHost updateProfile.sh $localCWD
	rlogin -l remoteHost

updateProfile.sh is a shell script on the remote host. It will take one
argument and change .profile to have 'cd $1'. The change can be done by a
appending to an template or parsing a template.

SSH would be a much safer alternative if you may. The scheme would be
similar though, I assume. ssh/scp.
