Date: 25 Jan 1994 23:47:50 GMT Organization: The Internet Access Company Lines: 18 Message-ID: <2i4b37$aoh@sundog.tiac.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: max.tiac.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I am running NetBSD and FreeBSD (latest releases) and I am having trouble with the telnetd and tty settings. Its seems that there is some bug when a user disconnects that new attempts to get past login: and password: to be in a screwed up state. This requires a user to type ^J after entering a username and/or password. Sometimes the login prompt doesn't appear at all or when you type <CR> you get ^M as an echo. I hacked telnetd to give the terminal CRMOD | ECHO on the tty settings during login and I tell my users to do an stty sane in their login scripts. You can reproduce the problem by telnetting into a FreeBSD or NetBSD account and breaking the connection at the password: prompt. Try logging again and voila the problem. HELP! HELP! HELP!
