Hey, wait a minute .. you said it all works OK if you export TERM=vt100 manually. What is the value of the TERM variable when you *don't* do that? (I.e. try doing an 'echo $TERM' immediately after having logged in from your remote box and report the results). For me, it seems that the problem is with the autodetection of the terminal type at login What does that on a Debian system (I'm not using mine right now)? telnetd? login? -- Henning Makholm http://www.diku.dk/students/makholm
