How can I fix this? it *is* sending del. rather, the characters sent when you strike the delete key are recognized by the shell and the shell executes the editing command delete-char-backward. problem is it also sends a tilde after the sequence that the shell recognizes. ^[[3~ is what i get here if i just go to a normal console terminal and hit delete. that is one character more than my shell is listening for. i believe, at least with respect to ksh, bound keys are editing commands that are executed when the shell sees a a control character, which may be have a prefix-character in front of it, come across. the ksh manpage (/ for bind) describes it better than i do, but basically, look at it like this: ^[[3~ is three parts. ^[[, 3, and ~. ^[[ == ^X, 3 == 3, ~ == ~. when the shell sees that, it recognizes ^[[ as 'prefix-2', or ^X. ^X3 is (i think?) set to 'delete-char-backward'. at that point, the shell does that. the ~ was not part of the sequence of keys the shell recognized because it is too many chars. you get a prefix and a control char, not a prefix and two control chars. if you type: blah and hit 'delete', usually you'll end up with bla~ because it did the delete-char-backward, which killed the 'h', but then the '~' showed up after any shell-recognition was done and so it made it out to the terminal as a normal character. a hackish way around that is to use '-m' and make it so that the shell substitutes ^[[3 with a control-X. eg: $ bind -m '^[[3'='^X' ( where '^X' isn't shift-6, shift-x, but rather: control-v, control-x. ) and then $ bind '^X~'=delete-char-backward which makes it to that when the shell sees '^[[3', it substitutes that for a real ^X. if i'm hitting delete, the ~ is also sent by my keypress, but at that point, the sequence has become '^X~', which then executes 'delete-char-backward'. perhaps bash is the same... And what about the home and end keys? Any way to make them work? -- viq -- Poznaj Stefana! Zmien komunikator! http://link.interia.pl/f1924

Re: using openbsd on zaurus
If all you are looking for is a small portable email client/web browser for the road, check ebay for a really small/cheap laptop.. aka: the thinkpad 240. It is fully supported by openbsd extremely easily. An out of the box install of openbsd easily runs on the 240 without much configuration needed. These little laptops are cheap and reliable. The only thing which kinda sucks... when playing music, if you use headphones, you can hear the hard drive access noises since the laptop is so small. That doesn't bother me much though as I whore the ipod everywhere I go anyway. I'm hoping to use a zaurus as a full featured browser, email client while on the road

Re: [OT]: good home switch?
I've seen how a lot of people recommend the metal case Netgear FS105 and FS108. I am currently using the FS105 -- and have been using it for well over 4 years now. It just sits there in the corner, always on, never bitching, and always working. What more can I ask for? PS: a vonage router is connected to it, along with a windows box, a 24 port 10/100 switch (which is connected to openbsd/freebsd/solaris machines). Anyway, I haven't had any major complaint with it, as it works for my use (home networking such). Just my $0.02USD On 9/4/05, Shawn K.

Re: Text editor
I'm surprised everyone keeps recommending using vi and vim, yet no one has given a pointer on how to learn it. Sure, an OReilly book may come in handly for this (such as the pocket version of vi tips), but the best way to learn is of course to read the man page. Aside from the man page, if you install vim (which i highly recommend), there is a little program/script/whatever called vimtutor that will get you familiar with vi/vim. I hop this helps a little bit. Good luck.. and welcome to UNIX (not those linux wannabees :P) On 8/7/05, Jason McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, Aug 07, 2005 at 06:21:55PM +1000, Zoong PHAM wrote: On Sunday, 7 August 2005 at 9:34:18 +0200, Sigfred Heversen wrote: The only text editor in bsd.rd is ed, so chances are that one may have to use it on occasion (shudder).

Re: 3.7 latest and hidden ssid?
I wish I could chime in and let you know more specifics about your question, but I want to let you know my experience with wireless and just leave it at that. Maybe someone can actually help you with your question. Either way, what I've found is that hiding your ssid from the world does nothing except make it harder for you to connect to your own access point. If someone wants to get in to your network, hiding the ssid won't do anything. Programs like netstumbler on windows and kismet on linux can *EASILY* see a hidden ssid. This makes me ask the question, why do you need to hide your ssid? Yes, I know how asking redundant questions like why are you doing this, why are you doing that isn't really helpful, but in this case it seems a justified answer.. given that people can easily get around a hidden ssid and it just makes life for YOU harder. I hope this helps in just a little way. If not, then I hope someone else can chime in with a more relevant answer. On 8/2/05, Jonas Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

Re: sleep patterns...
hahaha. in one of my sleep deprived moments a couple years ago.. i was messing with kernel compiles and such, when i mistakenly did... rm -rf /etc instead of rm -rf etc of course i immediately realized this and hit ctrl + c needless to say, the box was unimportant (THANK GOD) and this was back when 3.1 just got released. either way, the box ran for about a month after that without any problems. then one day i wanted to add a user and found i couldn't. ah, the stupidity of working sleep deprived for days =/ On 7/4/05, viq [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 04 of July 2005 21:25, Todd C.
