That is "standard issue" HP-UX profile leftover :) I believe it only really works for real terminals, not terminal emulators which is what most people use these days. We removed it and none of the users complained. I did not find a linux equivalent, although in all honesty I did not look very hard :)

Is this something for which I need a RH equivalent, and is an equivalent provided? Thanks! tabs(1) tabs(1) NAME tabs - set tabs on a terminal SYNOPSIS tabs [tabspec] [+m n] [-T type] DESCRIPTION tabs sets the tab stops on the user's terminal according to the tab specification tabspec, after clearing any previous settings. The user's terminal must have remotely-settable hardware tabs. If you are using a non-HP terminal, you should keep in mind that behavior will vary for some tab settings. Four types of tab specification are accepted for tabspec: ``canned'', repetitive, arbitrary, and file. If no tabspec is given, the default value is -8; i.e., UNIX ``standard'' tabs. The lowest column number is 1. Note that for tabs, column 1 always refers to the left-most column on a terminal, even one whose column markers begin at 0.
