  But I have Bash as the default shell. And yes, it works changing the
Terminal / Keyboard / "Backspace key" from "Contrl-? (127)" to
"Control-H", but the users are pissed off by the fact that Linux doesn't
need this -- does it mean FreeBSD has broken termcap entries or that
Linux is just stepping on the traditional standards ?
