I don't see any complaints when I log into a Debian machine.
How can I troubleshoot this?
Check what your terminal type is ('echo $TERM'). It's probably 'cygwin' for
Cygwin if you're running from a command prompt. You can use 'infocmp' to
compare the 'cygwin' terminal definitions (under '/usr/share/terminfo/c') on
your Debian machines to see if there's something different between the two.
You can also check the terminal used by Putty. I'm sure that's not going
to be 'cygwin'. Try setting TERM to that before you 'ssh' into your
problem Debian system and see if that helps. If so, that system has a
missing or wrong entry in it's terminfo DB. The solution in that case is to
copy the entry from the working system to the non-working one. Alternatively,
you can choose to side-step the issue by setting a different terminal, as I
mentioned above.

Use "echo $TERM" on both machines and see if there is any difference. Next, if there is no difference, try setting TERM to xterm on the remote side and see if the problem persist. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Sounds like a > terminal problem to me. That's what I thought, so I posted a question to the debian-user list and the suggestion came back that I test with something other than Cygwin ssh. So, I tested with Putty and Putty works fine with both Debian 3.0 and 3.1. So, now I'm posting the question here. > Do both understand your terminal setting?

Cygwin:

Debian 3.0 stable ("Woody") machine. This problem does not occur on either
Debian machine if I use Putty.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps you've implied something you didn't intend but if using Cygwin's
ssh works with Debian 3.0 but not with Debian 3.1, I'd suspect something
on the Debian side. Sounds like a terminal problem to me. Do both
understand your terminal setting?
