You aren't, perchance, using single-connection are you?  You omitted the
one line I wanted to see.

Subject: [tac_plus] Console login issue???

Hi All,

I've noticed that with all the AAA commands applied, when I log into a
router/switch via the console, I get two username prompts before I
successfully authenticate. It seems that on the first try, it detects
a "abort reason=Carrier dropped" when waiting for the username (See
debugs below). On the second try, it's able to receive the username.
All of our devices are plugged into a term server (cisco 2511).

Example:

> telnet ts1-cr 2001
Trying 203.10.110.x...
Connected to ts1-cr.
Escape character is '^]'.

Why is this happening that it is unable to receive the username on the
first try? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.
