I too have encountered the same symptoms. I have no idea why this started happening, but I have found a couple ways around it. First, two Control-Ds will act as a Return if you find the status lines appearing. Second, the stty command will fix it totally. I use `stty status ^T' to remap the status command to Control-T rather than Control-J (the ^T is a carat, T): akira:/home/bhlewis [123]>su Password:load: 0.03 cmd: su 24921 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 624k [2 ^D's here] akira:/home/bhlewis [101]#exit exit akira:/home/bhlewis [124]>stty speed 38400 baud; lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin iflags: -ixany ignpar oflags: -oxtabs cflags: cs8 -parenb -hupcl status ^J akira:/home/bhlewis [125]>stty status ^T akira:/home/bhlewis [126]>stty speed 38400 baud; lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin iflags: -ixany ignpar oflags: -oxtabs cflags: cs8 -parenb -hupcl akira:/home/bhlewis [127]>su Password: akira:/home/bhlewis [101]# I hope this helps, -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis bhlewis@gte.net -or- bhlewis@purdue.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
