Ok, Now things are getting strange. Following Per's advice, I login as a
regular user, type "who -T" and see:

ctrown + ttyp9 Sep 13 11:08 . 7429 64.0.182.80

CSUC's class B is 132.241. Just WHERE is this address coming from? This
explains why I'm getting the double-password prompt. I logged in a couple of
times to see if the address was changing, but it wasn't.

I checked netstat's output and saw:

tcp 0 0 phantasm.ecst.csuchico.edu.pmd
crumm.net.CSUChico.EDU.1011

I double checked the address on the portmaster and they are correct. I
checked the Netmask and the Broadcast address. They are also correct.

Something I did neglect to mention earlier is that I am using in.pmd for
my login service. The binary I'm using is the one that I found on Livingston's
FTP site, dated Feb. I believe.

Thanks for the help so far.

Chris...
