Encrypted login loses?

I've been trying eklogind and I have a problem getting it to print out the
encryption banner string: "This rlogin session is using DES encryption for all
dat a transmissions.\r\n"  I know that eklogind is setting the eklogin flag,
and I know that the des_write of that strings returns 74 (the length of the
string).  Well, I never see the string on my terminal.  To be honest, I have
seen it twice -- both times when it was followed by syslogd writing to my
terminal telling me the return value of the write (I added a syslog to
the des_write call so I could verify that it was being executed successfully).

My question is this:  Has anyone else seen this behaviour, or have an explana-
tion for it?  Is there a fix?   It's not critical that the encryption
banner show up, but it is kind of nice...

Any help appreciated.
