Thanks for the reply, I don't have ssmtp set up yet, so I took your suggestion and tried redirecting env and ssh -v output to a file. Actually I did this both from the Administrator's command line, and from the Administrator's crontab creating two seperate files (attached) so I could compare.

Problem with function keys codes with vt100 emulation

2002-11-06 Thread Reza Roodsari
Hi I've spent two days investigating this and sorry if this has been answered already. I was not able to find any references. The problem I have is that the cygwin terminal window which runs the bash shell is generating the wrong key codes when function keys, such as f1, f2, etc, are pressed.

Reza, The terminal emulation model is what it is. There's one for the Cygwin console window, another for RXVT and yet another for xterm (under XFree86/Cygwin). The TERM variable serves to convey the indication of which terminal emulator is active to software such as Vim, Emacs, programs

I'd recommend using the command of bash --login -c your script. This way, all the paths needed by perl, mailer, etc. are set up by the .profile as it would be. You're not opening this thing load of times per minute, so the performance shouldn't matter so much. Just my two pence. Genneth

Thanks very much for the help! This did it: chmod 755 $HOME/.ssh chmod 644 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys* I had $HOME set to 700 and authorized_keys* to 600 before and that somehow broke RSA authentication - it is odd that stricter permissions would cause that. I suppose this is because the SYSTEM

Randall, thanks for the quick response. So the TERM environment variable is somewhat broken, in that setting it to something else is a no-op. The first question that comes to mind is whether this is characterized as a bug or a feature, and if a bug how deep does it run, and how likely that it
