Re: BS in rxvt+ncurses

1997-12-05 Thread Galen Hazelwood
I've been having all sorts of horrible troubles with rxvt. Every time I think I've got it working, something else goes wrong. At the moment, the problem seems to be that under rxvt, ncurses interprets backspace as KEY_DC, i.e. "delete". This is because hitting backspace is sending ASCII 127, whi

Re: MD5 passwords and su

1997-09-17 Thread Galen Hazelwood
The version of su you're using (from shellutils) isn't part of the shadow password suite. It's smart enough to use shadow password functions if it finds them in the library, which it does, but other shadow features (ENV_SUPATH, SU_WHEEL, MD5 passwords) aren't available. If you want them, you need
