>Description:
	The telnet SRA authentification mechanism sometimes refuses a _valid_
password. If it refuses it one time, then the rest of the login session will
give the same results: the valid password will be refused.

	Sometimes, the string "[ SRA accepts you ]" is displayed, but the login
is prompted again, disallowing any login.

	I use FreeBSD since 4.4-RELEASE, and this bug never changed so far.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Setup a telnetd on a FreeBSD box, and try to connect to it from
another one. Try until you experience the bug (it shouldn't be long, the
occurence rate of the bug is quite high).

>Fix:
	None known.
