Well, like I said, I use bash and did a fresh install of RH 6.2 over
my RH 6.0 and have no problems, either with xterm or command line. I
really think it must be something to do with one of two things:
1) you're not using BASH as your shell, but xterm uses bash by
default(?)
or
2) something in the UPGRADE procedure is different from a fresh
install (including running mke2fs on the hard drives.)
Now that I think about it...there *is* one thing I did differently...
I backed up my home directory and everything and copied it to a safe
place and copied it back once I had installed.
Ok... I just added a new user from scratch and tested it out. It's
working the same for the new user as it is for me.
