- I used to be able to use GIICS fine when I was unregistered on ICS. Now
- that I'm registered, it doesn't work. Here's what happens:
-
- When I log in using GIICS, it sends an extra carriage return or something
- at the username prompt, causing ICS to repeat the prompt. Then GIICS
- sends the correct username, and ICS recognizes it. So far, so OK, but
- next ICS prompts for the password and GIICS sends that pesky extra
- carriage return again! So now ICS pops back to the username prompt, and
- GIICS sends my password. ICS thinks that this is my unregistered username
- and proceeds from there. Thus, I cannot use GIICS to get onto ICS as a
- registered user!
-
- I am using GIICS 1.53, the latest I could find on
- valkyries.andrew.cmu.edu. I have even tried editing the .CNF file and
- removing alternately the carriage returns and line-feeds, to no avail.
- Does any kind soul out there know what's up and what I can do?
-
- Thank you and happy holidays.
