Until I have more details, everything's possible. How about answers to some of these: 1. Can you stop the telnet (either with ^] or with kill -9 from another window)? 2. Does this happen only when connecting to this specific machine, or does it happen with others? 3. Does rlogin work? There are plenty more questions where those come from, but they'll do for a start. If you have any other comments, that would help too. > the only bizarre messages at system log is > >> Aug 1 20:47:03 finland sendmail[23115]: UAA23115: SYSERR(root): collect: >> Aug 1 21:17:45 finland tac_plus[23325]: Error 195.174.18.254 > tty88: Null There are messages missing here.
