I was using man command at cmdline on a remote login. What I see logged in remotely with TERM set to xterm [...] idmap setâaauthenticationMethod] [âDbindDN] [âjpasswdfile] name1 name2 [...] AFter using the suggested command I see this... (exactly the same): idmap setâaauthenticationMethod] [âDbindDN] [âjpasswdfile] name1 name2 Even if I back out and set the TERM to vt100 on the local and ssh from the same shell to oi, so my TERM is set to vt100 at login, I still see the same thing. Some pages appear cleaner... for example `man iostat' shows much less of that. _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list cifs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
