I should have thought of that.  :-/  OK.

I don't see how that could happen.

Right, good. 

The only thing that occurs to me is that the username is empty or has a
backslash in it.  The TDS 7.0 login packet is suppressed from the log, so
you can't see it without recompiling FreeTDS.  

You could, however, export TDSVER=4.2.  That would force a 4.2 login, which
is not suppressed (and in any case doesn't support domain logins).  If that
fails, it will be for other reasons, which might help us triangulate things.


I'm sure you don't want to post your login data, and it's not necessary; the
packet is correctly formed and documented so that you can verify it
yourself.  I think you'll be able to locate the username and password
readily enough.  

Standing by.
