As long as we are talking about login bugs on various hardware, here's one
I've found about 1.5 years ago (Hi, Jim and Andrew :)

If terminal server configured for RADIUS authentication,PPP/CHAP and
AutoProtocolDetect, typing Ctrl-Z in username> prompt will drop you
directly to command line, as if you logged in correctly.
This will not work to get past 'enable' password, though.

I am not sure if Xyplex fixed that bug yet, but at least the following
version of software is affected:
TS/720 V6.0.1S1 Rom 4C0000 HW 00.02.01 Lat Protocol V5.2

Hardware Type:       76
Hardware Revision:   00.02.01
Midplane Type:       SwitchPlane
Rom Revision:        4C0000
Software Type:       Terminal Server Level 4
Software Revision:   V6.0.1S1
Protocol Type:       LAT, TELNET, RLOGIN, TN3270, SNMP, PPP
