By default TERM is set to "sun", which is for an 80x34 Sun video console. If you connect from, say, an xterm, you'll need TERM=xterm. And if you're using unusual terminal sizes, you need to set rows and columns with stty(1). This isn't SSH, where the protocol transmits those terminal parameters to the remote side. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
