Itanium enviroment issue

Nyck_1 — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:43:26 GMT

I've just created a new user and their default shell is csh. When I log in as that user the @ key does not work, but if I login as root and then su - the user the @ key works fine. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

This is not happening on Solaris or AIX

stty erase '^h' kill '^U'
stty echoe

[12] % pwd
/etc
[13] % ls -al csh*
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1886 Mar 7 12:38 csh.login

The default for kill is "@" and erase is "#".
(That's why you can't use them in passwords without quoting.)

(Any reason the user wants to use the scummy C shell vs a real shell?)

Hi Sharma,

>>> @ is working for me in Password :-)?

==> Iâ ve deploy my test server above key (@), some time it is work and some it does not.

So, my opinions do not take any risk in Ur system.
