i've only noticed it on serial lines. it certainly doesn't happen on root ssh logins. i don't use telnet, and the machine is at a remote location so i don't know if it happens on the console -- i built it by logging in at the console, of course :-), and i don't remember it happening then. i should test whether it is specific to non-root logins as well. ssh as a normal user rather than as root. craig -- craig sanders
