[...kerberos comments deleted...] For the unitiated, during the Solaris 2.4(?) patch cycle, telnetd and rlogind became a "twp part program". There is a STREAMS module which is pushed onto the TCP and TTY STREAMS. The push is done by the binary which is run by inetd. I imagine the Kerberos bins don't have another half which are STREAMS modules. This split and use of STREAMS modules is to increase resposiveness with telnet/rlogin connections for servers with large numbers (100s) of users telnet'ting in by removing the need for context switches to copy data from tty to TCP connection. If anyone has an old Solaris 2.4 or 2.3 system, which doesn't have this enhancement present, it might be worthwhile to see if the ^D problem is exploitable. Darren
