I've experienced a funny thing with R4-xterm when compiling it on a pyramid. It works ok most of the time but behaves strange when using programs which prompts you for a password. It looks like there is displayed a linefeed/newline after the "Passwd :" with the obviuos "Sorry" as the result. The problem just occurs when it`s a local program which prompts you for the passwd. (Rlogin and telnet behaves ok but su and ftp don't.) In fact I can telnet to myself with no problems. pyramid% su Passwd: Sorry pyramid% pyramid% ftp sun 220 sun FTP server (SunOS 4.0) ready. Name (sun:svenole): 331 Password required for svenole. Password: 500 'PASS ': command not understood. Login failed. ftp> I can log in to the pyramid from a local xterm (sun) and there is no problems whatsoever. The R3 xterm on pyramid had no such problem. I'm running OSx5.0c Do the pyramid display a special character after the "Passwd:" which the R4 xterm handles like a linefeed/newline?? Do you xperts have any idea on what might be the problem and what to do to solve it?? - Sven svenole@vest.sdata.no
