(Sorry if you've seen this before... I just discovered it sitting in my
'dead.article' file)

After installing SR10.1 we are experiencing strange problems
with rlogin locking up.

This problem only happens if you rlogin 'two deep', which means in our
case:

	apollo1 --rlogin->  sun1  --rlogin-> sun2

If you do this, after the rlogin to 'sun2', no characters are
echoed on the original apollo.  Keystrokes are properly passed
to 'sun2' and commands can be executed if you terminate the command
with a LINEFEED instead of a CR.  

When you press LF, the command is echoed 'in toto' and the output
from the command is visible.

This problem does not happen with:


	sun0 --rlogin->  sun1  --rlogin-> sun2
or,
	apollo0 --rlogin->  apollo1  --rlogin-> apollo2

Anyone know what is is going on??

PH (Possible Hint) #1
When you rlogin to 'sun1' first a '!' character is printed;
a second later, the login message from the Sun is printed.
This does not happen in any other circumstance

PH#2
After connected to sun2, 'stty sane', 'reset' or 'tset' commands
do not fix the problem.
