I haven't seen this for a while because I started using ssh exclusively a while back -- so this info may be out of date... but when I did see it, ISTR that there was often an error message on the server.. -Archie __ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I have multiple accounts, but have not tried to login with another user while the first "locks". For some reason I never saw a reason to think it had a more global effect. And yes, I do see it on -stable as well (forgot to mention). Ok, now that I have confirmation, I'll see if I can zoom in on the problem.

Yes, I see this sometimes too, even in -stable. I agree with your conjecture -- it acts like there's an uninitialized variable that sometimes starts out with an unworkable value.

I see this as well - on both -STABLE and -CURRENT. I do you have two accounts you can try? I generally find that while the SRA login will refuse one account, a different account can log in fine, without reconnecting the telnet.
