no username prompt for telnet

[bhostetler]

Hm. I have a 9000 running 10 and when I try to telnet in, I don't get a username prompt, but 3 password prompts. Er. I've never seen something like that before...<br>

I have - but not usually with telnet.<br>
<br>
With rlogin you can sometimes get just the passwd prompt.<br>
<br>
I have occaisionally seen something like that on busy networks. If you press enter - three or four times - do you get a correct prompt then?<br>

Nope.<br>

% Bad passwords<br>

This happens regardless if I use a client app or telnet in from different unix boxes. I'm not running telnet -t on the hp.

The only thing I was going to suggest was the configuration of telnetd startup (TAC -- the -t option).<br>
<br>
Have you tried the -l option when you run telnet itself? That explcitly turns off TAC.<br>

User Access Verification is a response I see from our Cisco routers. Are you sure you are telnetting to an HP Unix system?

I wondered about that &lt;grin&gt; ..... bhostetler?<br>
