I have this in my .profile:
stty erase `tput kbs`
which sets erase to ^H for a vt and ^? for an xterm.
This has been fine up until now on all systems whether I login using a vt terminal emulator or an xterm.
On this new system though, if I log in directly using an xterm, backspace doesn't work unless I set "stty erase ^H".
However, if I rlogin from an xterm session on another system then backspace won't work unless stty erase is ^?.
Is there any way to make this consistent and work in all cases?
Thanks...
