Hi

Sometimes when I telnet to my FreeBSD machine I get the normal login
prompt and password prompt but when I push return it just hangs there.

Doing a "ps -aux" from another session reveals

root 435 0.0 1.9 256 576 p2 S<s+ 12:54AM 0:00.03 login -h sverige.pengar.com -p


It just hangs there.  Sometimes if you hit enough "returns" it comes back
with login denied and another login prompt.  You can never login on this
session however.  Doing another telnet session will sometimes work and
sometimes hang you...

Any ideas?

Chad
