• Sometimes missing SY: prompt

    From Nelgin@1:103/705 to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Sysops on Fri Jul 27 16:15:58 2018
    There are times when I'll occasionally try to login to my BBS
    via ssh and just get "Resolving hostname...". Though if I
    press ALT-L in SyncTerm it does log me in. No idea why the
    SY: prompt isn't being displayed. As I say, it's random but
    I don't know if it's just ssh or telnet and rlogin too.

    There's nothing unusual in the sbbs.log file.

    What version of SyncTERM? Have you tried different versions of SyncTERM or a different SSH client and seen the same problem?

    Using 1.1b - SDL under Windows. I can try with regular ssh but it maybe
    happens in 1/20 times, hard to tell if/when it'll happen.

    1.1b is a currently moving target, so it's a recent build?

    Do you have the same problem with SyncTERM 1.0?

    I, myself, have not seen this issue (yet).

    Probably not too recent. As I say, I'll keep an eye out on it to see if it happens elsewhere other than SyncTerm.

    Get the latest 1.1b (for Windows) here: http://syncterm.net/syncterm.zip and see if it still happens.

    How do I get rid of that horrible green border? (no need to respond if you see this on irc first!) :)

    I don't see a green border (and right-click to paste works fine). How'd you install it?

    The issue turned out to be Comodo running SyncTerm in a container. It didn't inform me it was doing so until a short while ago. Once I added it as a trusted application then I got the normal border and c&p works fine.

    Sorry for the red herring.
