To all, I recently installed a Fedora 8 OS on my personal desktop and everything has gone very well with the exception of using konsole as a terminal window to connect to the servers on our network. I have had no problem using the same profile setups in FC4, FC5, FC6, and FC7, but have had difficulty with F8. I have used a gnome desktop for each version. I have a profile script that opens up terminal windows to 8 different machines activating different log on sequences with each. 5 of these windows use perl scripts to log on to legacy computers using telnet that do not have ssh. Sometimes these scripts fail to complete a logon sequence and hang in the middle of the sequence. When this happens the window has to be closed. I have tried putting in "sleep" commands at various times which has helped a little but I am still having intermittent problems. I have other FC desktops ranging from FC4 through FC7 using the same perl scripts without any problems. Have any of you had the same problem with Fedora 8? Any Suggestions? Greg Ennis
