Ok, the story goes like this:
We have two identical redhat 6.2 servers. I personally use bash, almost everyone else
uses tcsh. One day we woke up, and the home, end and delete keys weren't working on
one of the servers anymore. Instead of going to the beginning or end of the line or
deleting one character to the right, respectively, it prints the tilde (~) character.
It's SUPER annoying because I use those keys all the time. I can get around it with ^a
and ^d but it really bothers me.... what's worse is no one has done anything that
should have caused this. The server has been up for like 45 days, and this happened
all the sudden about a week ago.
Oh I should say: these are co-located servers, we ssh to them, so it's not a local
keyboard-keymap problem. I've tried using telnet instead of ssh, that doesn't help.
Here's a sample output:
On the working server:
[root@csc004 httpd]# /bin/echo hi
Here I have hit the home key after typing the command, then delete, once. As shown it
properly removed the first character to the right - the beginning "/".
Here's the exact same keystrokes on the broken server:
[admin@csc003 remote]$ /bin/echo hi~~
As shown, instead of going to the start of the line and deleting, it just prints "~~"
This happens no mater what user or shell, also we've tried sshing/telneting from
different boxen in our office with various kinds of keyboards, all the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
