Potts) Subject: 386bsd: telnet oddity Message-ID: <jnpotts.721329854@du248-10.cc.iastate.edu> Sender: news@news.iastate.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1992 17:24:14 GMT Lines: 20 First off, I'll say that I do not have any real networks on my machine. (sniff) With that out of the way: In the past, when I've been testing different programs, etc, I have done a "telnet 0" to connect to my machine and log in as a different user. I've done this many times without problems. Recently, something happened to my machine (no, I never could figure out what), and I had to reinstall the binary distribution. I did this off of the same disks that I originally used. Now, when I "telnet 0" I'll connect to my machine, but I can't type anything at the "login:" prompt. Anyone experienced anything like this?
