can you please update util-linux and report if the problem still persists? I was already running the latest util-linux, but I did an rpm upgrade with --force just to make sure (util-linux-2.11f-11.7.1.i386.rpm) and I still get the same results. I am experiencing the same problem with our shell account server with 100% consistency. The problem only occurs with telnet (i.e., ssh works fine). I had the following versions installed (RH 7.1): util-linux-2.11f-11.7.1 telnet-server-0.17-18 As an experiment, I upgraded to telnet-server-0.17-20 from RH 7.2, but it did not solve the problem. If it would help, I can provide a user account on the server in question upon e-mail request. Additional experimentation seems to suggest the problem might be related to, or affect only, tcsh. As an experiment, I changed my shell to bash, telnetted in, and received no warning, and had job control (i.e., I could suspend vi). Switching back to tcsh, the problem returned and, as expected, I couldn't suspend a vi session. Hopefully this helps some. Tom, do you also have tcsh? Then this problem maybe is a tcsh problem? Nope, my problems were all with bash. Another person at work has also tested his 7.1 system, and sees the same problem (I think with bash as well). Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2001:153-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: login fails to set controlling terminal Description: Due to terminal handling problems in /bin/login, tcsh would not find the controlling terminal correctly, and a shell in single user mode would exhibit strange terminal input characteristics. This update fixes both of these problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54741 *** |
