Yip, I installed 3.0-RELEASE last night and I'm getting the
same problem... I haven't had time to modify gettytab yet.
Thing is, I receive the blank one when I telnet across the
network, and I receive the full one when I log in from
the console. At least I haven't intentionally altered
gettytab, so Im not sure...
Regards.
