Update I posted a request looking for a telnet package which would allow me to log the session.
It was suggested I look at turning logging on in an xterm session. With RedHat this capablite is turned off. I finally had a look at the source code (I am not a good programmer) and found note saying there is a bug if this function is turned on. What I am using in the mean time is script, program which removes some but not all the ansi codes and awk to remove the extra line feeds. A lot of work just to get logging, which is available on all other os's david -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
