 It's actually mainly a termnetd problem.  termnet isn't particularly
 clean in the handling of the problem, but I could reproduce the problem
 with a simple telnet.

 It seems termnetd can not deal with so many lines in one paste, which
 is rather stupid.


   Bye,

PS:
 I had a lot of trouble reproducing this problem, and couldn't reproduce
 it reliably.  My setup was with pseudo-devices (/dev/ptyz0 +
 /dev/ttyz0), and I couldn't setup a real console properly with getty or
 mgetty.  The channel was working until I entered my login, but things
 were going wrong when getty calls execve() on login, login tries
 writing "Password:" to the correct fd, but termnetd never sees it, and
 I have no idea why.

 I have tried for a couple of hours to get this working, and couldn't
 understand anything from the tty related ioctl()s that I was seeing, so
 I'm giving up; I probably miss the required skills to maintain this
 package and will RFA / O it.
