- How does that effect the backspace key? It makes the DEL key the erase
- (note that the docs say things about what happens when you define one
- key for two different things, like erase and intr). I thing to make the
- backspace key operate as the DEL key (ie do what the DEL key normall
- does) you want stty intr ^H.
-
- And when doing whatever it is that you're trying to do (I admint it's
- not clear to me) did you put the changes on the 2nd set of parameters?
- The first set are used when presenting the login: message, the 2nd after
- the username has been entered and login is actually called.
-
- It sounds like you're saying one thing and doing another...
