Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rsh <machine> or 2. telnet <machine> Actual Results: [~] [6:04pm] [aristotle] % router Last login: Sat Oct 20 18:04:44 from aristotle.int You have mail. Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell. Expected Results: did not expect warning. Additional info: - recently used up2date to bring machine to latest versions of packages installed. - shells opened no longer accept arrow keys or other ctrl characters (readline not functioning?) - does not appear to be a pam problem, since 'telnet' and 'rsh' give the same results (maybe tcsh problem?)
this problem started after I updated my system (with up2date) to the latest 7.1 RPMs.

discovered that when I ssh into the remote machine, everything is fine. arrow keys work, ^L works, etc. note that both the machines in this test have been upgraded to most recent 7.1 patches (except the kernel)
