Leaving aside for a moment the fact that the Sun admin needs his/her head checked for having telnet open in the first place (it appears that the telnet buffer overflow from last summer was patched ... in _January_), you should probably try 'export TERM=vt100' before connecting and see if that helps. If, on the other hand, it is you that administers this Sun box, then *thwap* to you for not killing telnet ages ago. - -d -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPJFMS79BpdPKTBGtEQIPogCgjMA0xKAtqmTZL2fVz4MRwtZqIUoAn0h7 nLPaiiB68AKPdlQZ0oCY2PjX =46gx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
