Sorry for not being clear enough. I am ssh'ing (and I have tried doing the same from console with the same result). The 2nd screenshot is the result I am getting from a tmux session ( http://imgur.com/9415rdM,TjMsUKC#1) Changing the terminal how? You mean change shell? I have tried using bash from tcsh with the same result too.
How do I change terminal settings? Could anyone give me some pointers? Change /etc/ttys? What to change?
