Can you put the command "clear" or "tput clear" in the shell's login and logout files (globally /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.logout, local to the respective user ~/.login and ~/.logout)? You can also test those two commands interactively. I think they are connected to the ^L key, just to make sure if something's wrong with the /etc/gettytab file. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
