[SunHELP] SUN Type 6 Keyboard Question

[Leon Halford]

Or alternatively use: /etc/profile for ALL sh/ksh users or /etc/.login
for csh.

Another option..

If you want to make the changes default for ALL shells on a given server
you can edit the file /kernel/drv/options.conf and reboot. Obviously any
stty customisation in system-wide or personal login files will override
the default setting though.

The erase key on Solaris is the 7th field for the variable "ttymodes" in
options.conf. Usually 7f = ^? or 8 = ^H

You can generate the ttymodes line using the following procedure:

$ stty erase ^? (or whatever else)
$ stty -g
# cut & paste into /kernel/drv/options.conf

As this file can potentially screw up your ability to log in anywhere, I
suggest you make *minor* changes!

Put that line in $HOME/.profile "sty erase ^?" and it will be executed
every time you log in.
