Hi, I just migrated from Linux and I am now using FreeBSD 6.3. My keyboard layout is US-ISO and my TERM is con25. I am using bash#3 as my login shell. The problem is that bash does not remember my commands correctly. Almost all commands I enter in a login session are forgotten in the next session. Using the Up and Down arrow keys navigates a mangled and incomlete command history. Even using Ctrl-r for a reverse find almost never fetches a command I had actually typed in previously. The following are the contents of my .bash_profile and .bashrc: #.bash_profile : [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && source ~/.bashrc #end-of-file #.bashrc : export HISTFILESIZE=200 shopt -s cmdhist shopt -s histappend #end-of-file If anyone can help me out to get me bash remembering my commnds, I will be grateful. Thanks Manish Jain unxfbsdi@gmail.com
