When logging in You are (after the initial handshaking; I am not familiar with the details ) almost always in a mode where echoing is done only after You hit the <ret>-key (al- ready when You start typing Your user-id). On some rare occasions You are in a mode where everything is echoed twice, so that even Your password will be disclosed! The curious thing is, that if You cancel the login-procedure with CTRL-X and try again, You are al- ways in the correct operating mode (so the behaviour is definitely not random). This kind of behaviour has been observed with both 386bsd 0.1 patch-kit 0.2.4 and FreeBSD 1.0 BETA (which we are running at this moment). The behaviour has, on the other hand, not been observed when logging on to a UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 (Interactive Systems) -based machine on the same net. Any hints about what should or could be done are welcome. Rgds, HEk -- E-mail: Henrik.Ekestam@hit.fi Tel./Fax: (Int. + 358 0 ) 680 48 462/400
