This isn't your terminal, but the "shell" you are using. You need to change the shell in your /etc/passwd file to something such as /usr/bin/bash or something else that supports "tab completion." As for the prompt, you need to set the PROMPT variable in your environment. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
