hi guys.. i just started dealing with MUD a week ago, and compiled circle3bpl4.. I thought it would be great to have my own server and i have plans to add both new maps and new features to the system.. But something went wrong.. When someone is about to login to my server, (say, when the server waits for the password), it freezes until that person completes his login.. This also happens when someone reads to motd or imotd.. (when the server waits for the player to hit enter, the game freezes for other players) .. I am not a whiz on Unix, but when i removed the echo_off function (just made it a null function) the problem is fixed. But of course now, when people type their passwords, it also appears on the screen. I THINK this is related with the system (or TELNET client) since the same thing does not happen when circle3.0 is compiled on AIX3.2 (i myself use Ultrix4.2a).. I would be thankful if someone can answer my question - altough it is lame.. The players don't want their passwords appear as they type them in ;-) Enis Simsek
