Hello everybody,
I've tried to setup a kind of 'dedicated ssh client' using FreeBSD, and I'm having some issues with the terminal colors.
I have a basic install of FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (I only had kernel-dev packages checked at installation) and I rebuilt the GENERIC kernel with the VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE options enabled (for a high resolution terminal).
Now here's the problem: when I ssh into another box and issue a command with colors (like vim's syntax hilighting or a colored ls) the primary color of the terminal will change. I'm often left with a crazy colored and hard to read bash prompt (all in the ssh session). When I exit the session back to FreeBSD, the colors persist. I have to use the command 'reset' to fix the issue.
I believe my primary FreeBSD shell is csh (it's whatever the default is in FreeBSD) and I'm not sure if it can handle colors or if it has them enabled. I generally ssh into a bash shell.
I'm really a newcomer with FreeBSD, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch, David Krauser david.krau...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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"
