Ravi,

Actually i dont want to run the command "stty erase ", I think we need to add in profile file (.profile or /etc/profile)I dont want to use this command arguments when ever i login.

This problem is related to your putty configuration.

You can change this from open setting

Terminal---- keyboard

then change "The backspace key to Control-H option.

it's check box type setting

Hello

put it at the end of the file in .profile, whenever user login .profile will be read and executed, hence the stty parameter will be set.

Hello I think you are trying all these execises in putty screen.

modify the .profile using telnet are on the console, when the user logs in using putty, the parameter will be set.

Hello ,

you can try for putty by redirecting the
command to profile file :

echo "stty erase " >> ~/.profile
