Do:
[root@stalefish ~]$ stty -a
This should brings up a list of control keys that the Linux (or any
unix) system uses. Look for an entry that says 'erase' and check to
see if it has the ^H in there. The '^H' is the binding for the
backspace key, there's a different binding for the Delete key. If
it isn't ^H next to erase, you can change it if you're more
comfortable using backspace rather then delete.
[root@stalefish ~]$ stty erase '^H'
This should do the trick. But if you're using the delete key as
backspace, it may not work anymore. =)
