Re: Bug with password

This should happen with all the ui's as well as on all platforms.  This 
problem has been reported before and ...  I think Conan and I were hunting 
it down way back when, but I forget all the details at this point.

I think it had to do with muds that don't handle the Telnet ECHO stuff 
properly.  There should be material in the mailing list archives.

Regardless, it should be in the network layer.

Mudecho is a configuration variable that you can flick on and off 
independent of what the mud sends you.  So you have a couple of possible 
quick-fix options.  You can comment out the echo handling code in the tkui 
or you can create an alias that resets the mudecho configuration variable 
and run the alias after you log in.

Hope that helps.
