Hello group, Very new to freebsd. I am coming from a Redhat Linux environment (please no flames - notice I said that I am coming from). I have a user on the my Feebsd box that using bash shell. One of the things that I really like about bash is the ability to use the up arrow on my keyboard to go backward through the command history and run commands that I have already typed in. Bash on Freebsd does not appear to allow this or I have not configured it properly to do so. Additionally bash on linux allowed me to complete a file name by typing part of the file name and then press the tab key. Freebsd bash does not or again I don't know what I am doing (which is most probably the case). Maybe Redhat does this for you already and therefore I have never had to configure it. I would really like to have access to these features. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
