Hi there, we recently installed two DecStation2100 running Ultrix 4.1. After setting up the TCP/IP, I tried to telnet into the new machine, and here is the result (the same on both of them): luigi@mv3500 2 > telnet pimac2 Trying... Connected to pimac2. Escape character is '^]'. ULTRIX V4.1 (Rev. 52) (pimac2) login: luigi login: mypassword Password: I didn't expect the second login prompt and typed my password. I bet this is the behavious of the average user. I remember I read something similar in a newsgroup some time ago, but don't remember whether there was a fix or not, and which OS the bug was related to (I doubt it was on Ultrix). Any suggestions ?

This is the behaviour I observed when telneting from a Mac or PC just after I installed DECnet/Ultrix. The problem was the gateway version of the telnet daemon that is part of DECnet/Ultrix. After complaining to DEC about it, they came up with a new binary. Works fine now. The interesting thing was it only asked for the login prompt twice when telneting from a Mac or PC (NCSA Telnet) - but not from a Unix box or VMS (CMU-TCP). |> Any suggestions ? |> ================================================================== |> Luigi Rizzo Brown University & Univ. di Pisa |> e-mail: lr@cs.brown.edu, luigi@iet.unipi.it |> ================================================================== Brian. -- Brian Ellis Computing Services Centre Domain: ellis@rata.vuw.ac.nz Victoria University of Wellington Bang paths... grrrr!!!!!

We have the same problem on DECsystem 5810 with Ultrix 4.1, but it
seems to be limited to telnet (decnet logins do not show it) Also, it
shows up when I use telnet on my PC, but not when I telnet from
another UNIX host. Anyone has a good idea what is going on?

Anyone has a good idea what is going on? Nope. I've mailed DEC about this, but so far have no response.

If anyone >gets an answer - please post! Well I asked the local DEC people for a patch 6 Months ago. No response either. Then the other day I called them again and told them someone on the net said that there was a patch. Two hours later I got it, tarred, compressed and uuencoded. From the README: (01/10/90) telnetd.gw, double login prompt The DECnet/Internet gateway version of telnetd (telnetd.gw) in its non-gateway mode (i.e., as just a regular telnetd) would incorrectly prompt twice for a login name. Patched telnetd.gw's have a patch date of 01/09/91 (do "what /usr/etc/telnetd.gw | fgrep PATCH"). +----------- Andi Karrer, Communication Systems, ETH Zuerich, Switzerland karrer@bernina.ethz.ch - terible simplifieur /s=karrer/ou=bernina/o=ethz/prmd=switch/admd=arcom/c=ch/
