keyboard setting.

[Jannik]

If i connect with a normal telnet, some of the normal keysetting is incorrect. Characters as 'æøå' on a danish keybourd return wroung characters. I think that it was installed wroungly how can it be changed (and not itemap that is f

I think you are probably going to find that this is a setting on the client side, not the server.

Hi,
these settings work for me:

# stty -a
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
rows = 0; columns = 0
min = 1; time = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; eol2 ; swtch
stop = ^S; start = ^Q; susp = ^Z; dsusp
werase ; lnext
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl -cread -clocal -loblk -crts
-ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc
-ixon -ixany ixoff -imaxbel -rtsxoff -ctsxon -ienqak
isig icanon -iexten -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-echoctl -echoprt -echoke -flusho -pendin
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tostop
#

I do not know how these chars will appear, but you will probably guess what it is:
æøå

The problem is often caused by having istrip set; it should be -istrip. If it does not help, then show me your settings and I will check how they work over here.

# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"

changed to:
LANG=da_DK.iso88591
LC_CTYPE="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_COLLATE="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_MONETARY="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_NUMERIC="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_TIME="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_MESSAGES="da_DK.iso88591"
LC_ALL=

by doing # export LANG=da_DK.iso88591
But the characters still does not work.

I'm trying different clients reflextion and putty. They have the problem both.

my tty setting is :
intr = ^@; erase = DEL;
swtch ;
brkint -inpck icrnl onlcr tab3
-iexten echo -echoe echok
-echoctl -echoke

Hej igen,
I have tried your settings over here but the thre last national characters still appear. .
Does your posting of the tty settings show everything appearing at:
stty -a

Hej igen,
just forgot something important - and special to hpux 11.xx. The root shell, i.e. /sbin/sh, does NOT support our last three national characters; it is perfectly normal behaviour for /sbin/sh to display those characters as in your first posting. Try to change the shell to ksh and see if it helps.

Hej John

Her you have the output from stty -a
speed 300 baud; line = 0;
rows = 24; columns = 80
min = 4; time = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = DEL; kill = @
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; eol2 ; swtch
stop = ^S; start = ^Q; susp ; dsusp
werase ; lnext
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crts
-ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc
ixon ixany -ixoff -imaxbel -rtsxoff -ctsxon -ienqak
isig icanon -iexten -xcase echo -echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-echoctl -echoprt -echoke -flusho -pendin
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tostop tab3

as you can see i have a istrip on the machine, how do i remove it.

tnx

[Jannik]

done it:
stty -istrip

TNX!
