Your terminal type is hosed. How, exactly, are you connecting to the remote system? Are you using Windows? Windows TCP/IP clients often have settings for this (or possibly just get a better client, I like Tera Term). When I ssh from one Linux machine to another, my terminal type stays Linux (which, incidentally, is probably the best). If you are connecting from one UNIX/Linux machine to a remote Linux machine, what terminal type do you show on the local host? -Alan Mead _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
