Well it wasn't getty but csh, I had started X the following way (pilot error in other words): startx >& /tmp/xout & I have used the last couple of days without a hitch, so that seems to have been the problem. When it comes to my erase character problem, it seems that if I do a: stty sane stty erase ^h the problem is taken care of. Thanks to everyone responding. Sincerely, Lars Fredriksen --
