I have had Rethat 7 running for a few moths, but today, when I tried
to log onto the terminal ( telnet from a WinME connected on my LAN )
the login dialogue asked for the user name, then did not display the
password prompt... [ctrl]-c broke the program and it went back to the
username prompt.

I went to the console on the server and tried to log in as a user,
then as root, and both times the same thing happened, I could put in
the user name, but the password prompt would not display, and if I
just typed in the password, nothiong happened, though in all 3 cases I
could break back to the username prompt with [ctrl]-c

Any help is appreciated :-)

Sounds like getty may have a problem!

Cheers,
