- PROBLEM: There is a little problem that some users have reported and
- that we have seen here in the lab. Sometimes, when loading
- the shell, you will get garbage displayed on the screen. It
- will finish executing and print out on the last line that you
- are attached to server <name>. You can login and everything
- else works fine.
-
- We have seen this in the lab using many different network
- configurations and different O.S. versions. It does make
- users nervous, but so far we haven't seen it cause any other
- problems.
-
- The only possible explanation we have is that some kind of
- interference gets through the network and gets displayed on
- the screen. Replacing the cable doesn't appear to solve the
- problem, it merely goes away with time.
-
- We would like to report a conclusive answer but we haven't
- found one yet. If anyone else has seen this and knows of a
- possible solution, let us know.
