[Donald J. Organ IV]

Wait are you unable to login to the server? Or are you just complaining about the visual of it...?

Yeah, the username is ken at secdat.com.   The server is server.example.com.

When it goes to authenticate, it tries to log on as 
'ken at secdat.com@server.example.com'   how the f*** do I turn this off? 

Seems to me this really ought Just Work.
