On XP and above, there is a Security setting which says something about
not being able to login to an account without a password except from at
the console - this prevents you logging into a telnet session using an
account with no password.
It may be this that is causing your problem
Check the Local Security Settings (I think under the "account" section)
on the PC.
Hope this helps

I have been away from intensive use of jb for quite a while now, but
remember that my clients all used W2K and simply hit the enter key for
password to log in. I later, set up my application in my office using
xp-pro, but until I re-loaded my system this last time, I don't ever
remember having to enter a password to log in to my POS account. Oh
well, more than one way to skin a cat, so I think I will just put a
login script in my telnet application (NetTerm). Seems strange
though, that one can use an xp password as short as one space, but if
you delete the password, you can't log on with a null pw. Looks like
ms places a default pw when one chooses to delete it. I have done a
bit of research and all of the suggested solutions don't seem to work
when one is attempting to telnet.

Dave,
I have always needed a user password to log onto jBase via Telnet. I
asked about this years ago and no workaround was ever offered.
Regards,
Alan

Hi All:
I have an interesting situation with my system.
I have set up and account called "GCS" and the path to it is simply
C:\usr\GCS
Everything seems to be working ok in Jbase.
Here is a scenerio. I log on to my system as administrator with no
password. I open my Telnet window and attempt to log on to jbase. I
get the normal Account Name: prompt, to which I reply "GCS". It gets
strange when I am asked for a password . It apparently wants the
password that I would assign to the account when I created it under
windows. I can log on if I use this password, but I remember previous
installations when I did not need a password here. So, I removed the
password under windows, restarted my jbase server, but cannot log on
at all either with or without a password.
So, straighten me out please.
Dave.
