The rlogin function in rlogin.el has this code:

          ;; Set the prefix for filename completion and directory tracking
          ;; to find the remote machine's files by ftp.
          (setq comint-file-name-prefix (concat "/" (car args) ":"))

*after* the call to (rlogin-mode), and therefore after rlogin-hook has
been called, and therefore I cannot override this setting (without
copying the whole function definition).  For me, it makes sense to do
this, since most machines here have ftp turned off.

It works fine, and doesn't change the default behavior, to set
comint-file-name-prefix before the call rlogin-mode, so can the setq
please be moved?  Thanks.
