Folks,
I'm working on some Linux boxes (Redhat, Debian) but to get to them I
have to go through and OpenBSD shell server. Typically I login to the
OpenBSD box, run screen on it, then ssh to the Linux boxes. The problem
I have is the backspace key doesn't work properly in vi on the Linux boxes,
but works as expected at the shell prompt. In vi when I type a backspace
I get '^?' char displayed on screen. Very annoying. Any idea what
"stty erase" should be set to to make this work consistently at the
shell prompt _AND_ in vi?
Here's what stty shows:
