Hi,

      Sorry to bother you again - I sent an email like this a couple of
weeks ago, regarding strange behavior of our Athena Terminal kfj1-sun
(66-501). Back then, from July 30 to July 31, I not allowed anymore to
remotely access the machine (via telnet or ftp). The computer would
instantly delete the line with my information from the password file
after I logged out from the console.
     Some days after I sent you the email, everything was restored again
- I was happily using kfj1-sun from my terminal via telnet/ftp.
     Now, the same thing happened again - telnet to kfj1-sun gives me
the message, that I am not allowed to remotely log in. Could you tell
me, why this continues to happen? It doesn't make much sense to me, if I
have to write you email every two months or so, asking to fix my
account.... Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for helping

Cornelia
