Hello paulie420!

On 01 Jul 2022, paulie420 said the following...
 pa> kex_exchange_identification: banner line contains invalid characters
 pa> banner exchange: Connection to 127.0.0.1 port 9999: invalid format

Not sure (as it mentions the banner line), but could it be due to the receiver (127.0.0.1 port 9999) using ssh-rsa (SHA-1) algorithm?

Please see the following two pages:

You might want to try adding:

-oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa

....right after "rlogin" in the script to see if that helps.

However OpenSSH providing the rlogin command appears to be kind of a mess (for instance, the man page for rlogin/ssh mentions very little about rlogin)...

If the above doesn't work, maybe the "rsh-redone-client" package would help?

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/rsh-redone-client

(That one is for Debian Bullseye -- not sure what you are running?)

Then the 'rlogin' command would have to be replaced with 'rsh-redone-rlogin'.

Hoping some of this helps. =)

Best regards
Zip
