System name:		paddington
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2L (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Do a console login by typing ^P from the spiffy
	Xlogin blinking owl display

What's wrong:
	At username prompt, typein is not echo'd.  Then
	when you try to enter a password, an immediate
	newline seems to get entered.  After a few tries,
	you finally get logged in.
