The machine that I use for email and a few other things was cvsup'd to the latest 4-S this morning now my xterms are all broken. I'm sshing in tothe box from an SGI, but I get the same results sshing from a Sun. Here's a JPEG of what I'm seeing: http://www.sysabend.org/admins/ragnar/xterm.jpg It's really annoying. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Likely the SGI or the Sun are not using X11R6 but an older xterm, which doesn't support the settings that have been recently made for the "xterm" termcap entry. I've worked around it by using a different termcap type. Strangely enough "xterm-r6" does fine... Try using the -tn option of the SGI/Sun xterm window. Helge
