Okay, in the xterm it will not work at all (this is on a PCLinuxOS kde4.3.4) but switching from F7 to F1-F6 into the terminal and trying it from there worked like it is supposed to work. Still waiting to see if anyone from PCLOS and kde know why it is not working in kde4 xterm. If some one does not know the command string ssh -t u...@rhost 'vi directory/file' works like a charm. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
