System name: depot.mit.edu
Type and version: SPARC/4 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type: tcx
What were you trying to do?
rlogin to an sgi workstation
What's wrong:
Something is setting the display variable to :0.0
In addition, neither the delete or backspace keys work.
(You simply get an echo'ed ^?.)
What should have happened:
Well, if it is going to set the display variable, it
should get it right. Better yet, it should do what the
sun's do for an rlogin and not set it at all.
The delete character should work (like it does on a sun).
I need to type 'stty erase ^?' to get the delete keys to work.
Neither of these are problems if I telnet in as a normal
user. Delete works fine, and display is set correctly.
The root's dotfiles are the same as those on the system packs,
they have not been modified.
