I am running Exceed under Win98 to access my FreeBSD with xterm, to my now "4.3-RC2" box. It now hangs waiting to login (using the rlogin method). From my other FreeBSD machine (4.2-RELEASE), if I try to rlogin to my 4.3-RC2 box, it also hangs for a long time after I enter the password (approx 2-3 minutes). Then it finally plunks me into the shell as expected. From an existing session, the ps display shows that the login process is hung up waiting for something. Otherwise, its a mystery, and I cvsup-ed again today, hoping the problem would be fixed, but not so yet... here's hoping for tomorrow.. Warren.
