conserver.cf question

We are running conserver version 8.1.7, using the UDS socket feature for client/server communications. We recently modified our conserver configuration files to call our terminal server directly using the "type host" syntax.

An example configuration entry looks like this:

default csm {
logfile /var/log/consoles/&;
timestamp 1da;
rw *;
master c104hc01.clusters.com;
}

console f1x345n01.clusters.com {
include csm;
type host;
host 192.168.1.25;
port 2900;
}

Whenever we open a console to this server, the console opens in read-only mode, even if we don't specify -s:

[root@c104hc01 conserver]# /opt/conserver/bin/console f1x345n01.clusters.com
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]
[read-only -- initializing]

hitting some keystrokes here results in:

[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]
[read-only -- use ^E c ? for help]

We can use the Ctrl E-c-f sequence to get into read/write mode:

If we change the configuration file back to this:

default csm {
logfile /var/log/consoles/&;
timestamp 1da;
rw *;
master c104hc01.clusters.com;
}

console f1x345n01.clusters.com {
include csm;
type exec;
exec "/usr/kerberos/bin/telnet 192.168.1.25 2900";
}

everything works:

[root@c104hc01 conserver]# /opt/conserver/bin/console f1x345n01.clusters.com
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]

Is there anything else that needs to be added to the config file to get the console opened in read/write mode? I would have thought the "rw *" in the default block would be enough.

Thanks,
