We are experiencing an interesting problem on your 4/490 running SunOS 4.1. We have a couple of users with odd sized terminals who tell the system about their terminal size via the command stty rows 40 cols 40 The problem is this. When that user disconnect the next user to get that psuedo-tty port inherits the size characteristics. That is, an stty -a reveals the same size the last user was using. An stty sane fails to reset these values. Nor are the modified by a tset. In fact, the only way we've found to correct this is to explicitly issue an 'stty rows 0 cols 0'. I suppose I could tell affected users to put this in their .login files...but it seems like there should be a more elegant solution to this problem. So, has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions for an elegant solution? Thanks Frank W. Peters Systems Programmer Computing Center & Services fwp1@CC.MsState.Edu Peters@MsState.Bitnet (601)325-2942
