 Hi Hubert.
 
 I understand that you find this ssh-like behaviour on telnetd(8)
 a bit annoying but, IMHO it is right.  PAM is a nice improvement
 for the operating system and a "secure telnet listener" really was
 a requirement for those administrators that want to offer standard
 telnet access to their systems yet.
 
 I understand that if a secure SRA login is not possible, it will
 revert to the old unsecure behaviour.  I am not wrong, right?
 
 The "User" prompt certainly recalls the OpenVMS's "Username" prompt.
 Surely it is a bit annoying for people using PPP chat scripts to
 log into remote NetBSD machines.  But the change on the scripts is
 not difficult to implement.  Perhaps returning to the old "login"
 prompt (with all the "SRA related noise" being shown before the
 login prompt) will make the new daemon more compatible with all
 those dialup chat scripts.
 
 Cheers,
 Igor.
