Message-ID: <187@digi.UUCP> Date: 20 Jul 89 17:02:06 GMT Reply-To: kcantrel@digi.UUCP (Keith Cantrell) Followup-To: comp.sys.apollo Distribution: usa Organization: DSC Communications, Plano Tx. Lines: 31 I am having a weird problem with remote machines logging into my Apollo DN3500 running BSD4.3. If the remote machine is using anything else but HoneyDanBer uucp to login, they will not get past the "Password:" prompt. The problem seems to be that after the remote machine sees "login:" prompt they send their account name, next they see "Password:" and then they send their password but nothing happens. And if I look at the output from "ps -ax" command I see that getty has passed execution to "login -p username" but it is not getting any CPU time. It seems as though the "login" program is not seeing the password being sent by the remote machine. The weird part is that if the user at the remote host uses tip (or some kind of communication program) and does the login sequence by hand, it all seems to work. Now I have noticed that if I try in login to this Apollo by hand and am talking to it at 7 data bits and no parity, I will get the same results, but the remote machine that is trying to call us swears that his is using 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Has anybody else seen this problem??? And more importantly, does anybody have a solution??
