Hmm... maybe /etc/inputrc is not used for root?
Which distribution? Which version? Does your /etc/profile define INPUTRC
for root also? Check out the output of bind -P (in bash) and look for
previous-history and next-history, and see if they are mapped to \eOA
and \eOB (the up and down arrow keys).
Otherwise put these lines in ~root/.inputrc. This should work.
"\eOA": previous-history
"\eOB": next-history
"\e[A": previous-history
"\e[B": next-history
