PROBLEM: When you log into your host, it always skips past the Login prompt and displays the Password prompt. Then you must hit return to get the Login prompt.

SOLUTION: Use the -K telnet option.
The -K option specifies no automatic login to the remote system.

 

Select Telnet Connection... (Under the Connection Menu in MacWise)
and then enter the -K option.

 

NOTE:

-a is the default and will be used if left blank
Here are the notes on the -a option from the telnet manual.

-a Attempt automatic login. This is now the default, so this option
is ignored. Currently, this sends the user name via the USER
variable of the ENVIRON option if supported by the remote system.
The name used is that of the current user as returned by
getlogin(2) if it agrees with the current user ID, otherwise it
is the name associated with the user ID.

NOTE: You will need MacWise version 11.41 or later
