I have been having problem with random slip line failures. A line will be 
working just fine, and then for no reason, and without a single 
modification [or reboot] to any file, slip login will begin to fail for 
that user. Not all users mind you, just one or two here or there. 

The error it gives is exit 256, which as far as I can tell is undocumented.

The only way I can get these to work again is by essentially moving the 
account name around in the slip.hosts file [not reconfiguring, just 
moving it from say line 3, to line 13, and then when it fails later, I 
move it to line 5, etc.]

Any ideas or similar experiences?

Thanks,

-Jerry.
