Normally you terminate an rlogin connection by typing logout at the end of a work session. If cannot terminate a session in this manner, you can abort the connection by typing a tilde character followed by a period (~.). The remote login connection to the remote machine is aborted and you are placed back at your original machine.
If you log in to a series of machines, gaining access to each machine through another machine, and you use ~. to abort the connection to any of the machines, you are returned to your original machine.

If you want to back up to an intermediate rlogin connection, use two tildes followed by a period (~~.).
