First, the hardware/software: A diskless VAXStation 2000 running Ultrix 3.0 and UWS 2.0. Two problems. First, the first person who logs into the station using DECWindows after a reboot gets in as root. After they log out everything behaves normally. Secondly, the termcap for the dxterm appears to be wrong. When I attempt to insert characters on a line with vi or emacs, the new characters overwrite the old. A redraw of the screen fixes everything. Using a normal xterm works fine. I seem to recall seeing this problem with the normal vt100 termcap but at least when you stopped the insert in vi it would redraw the line. Under dxterm you don't even get that much. Any advice would be most welcome. -David C.
