If I killed the BSD login, it ran fine. What finally worked is to specify a TERM of cons25 in my .login file. <when running from the console, I need the color capability of cons25> I never tried any other term type, but that may well work too. <Of course, then I have to set term=vt100 to connect to a Red Hat box I get mail on. sigh.> And of course, this only happens on 2.2.x, not on 2.1.x... -- SCSI is *not* magic. There are many technical reasons why it is occasionally necessary to sacrifice a small goat to your SCSI chain. --Joshua Fielden
