Re: Change erase character
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D" -parity ixoff
The # character is the default for backspace, a carryover from the days of teletypes. Also unusual is the @ character which cancels the current line. So if you need to type an email address (bill@abc.com) you will find the line erased (and ignored) with @ character.
By putting this into /etc/profile, all users (except csh) will get the correct settings.
