I see now where I misunderstood your original posting.

Probably, your friend's MUD client is at fault.  You can test this
hypothesis by logging every incoming connection, not just every login,
with the IP number involved.  If your friend's IP number does show up,
he can connect but his client does not make it through the login
sequence.

This would involve adding something like the following to logon() in
/obj/player.c:

    log_file("ENTER", "Connection from " + query_ip_number(this_object()) +
	     "\n");
