Hi,
I have an uncommon problem with telnet.
My customer has AS1000 4/266 using D-UNIX 3.2C
There is no problem if they tried to telnet from that machine to
another machine. But if they'd like to telnet from another machine to
AS1000 4/266, login prompt didn't show up but it was change into @usrid
When they tried to fill with user_name or usr_id it didn't work.
they have reinstalled the system, but this problem still occured.
Does anybody has this problem before..?

You don't give the exact output that the customer is seeing, but I'm assuming that it looks like: login: @usrid The string for the user name is passed from the other system as part of the telnet environment options. It looks like the customer's problem is with the other system, not the AS1000 4/266 using D-UNIX 3.2C. What is the other system? What does the other system pass as the USER environment variable? Does the telnet command on the other system have the -d and/or -n options (do "man telnet" on the DU system)? If it does, the customer can use these to debug their problem.

When they tried to telnet from the other machine, there was no login prompt appeared, but it was change into @usrid. " - telnet backup.server" " - @usrid :" > What is the other system? What does the other system pass as the USER > environment variable? Actually they have a lot of system, mostly is AS1000 with D-UNIX. I have tried to telnet from all system, @usrid prompt appeared. It is prossible that this problem caused by there is something wrong with their network environment..? Anyway thanks for your reply rgrds Ramadoni::daivc | |||||

I still think your best shot is to use the telnet -d option to debug
the problem.
Some things that could be involved:
- Is the customer running DECnet? DECnet has it's own login code.
- Is the customer running the standard /usr/sbin/telnetd and
/usr/bin/login supplied with the system?
- internationalization. If the customer has the system set up for a
language other than standard US english there could be a problem
with the message catalogue.
