Carla,

I'm cleaning up the MacZephyr bugs pending in the DCNS net-prob system.
I realize that this is not a timely response in any way but it's better
than no response ever. :-)

Eons ago (Januray) you reported this problem with MacZephyr:

As you know, there is a new version of MacZephyr which supposedly
eliminated this problem, although there has been one report of it
still occurring if you start typing your password before the
authentication dialog even appears.

Anyway, are you still experiencing this problem with MacZephyr 1.1?

Thanks,
