-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, believe it or not, the terminal type of your GNU/Linux system is ... drum roll ... LINUX. Interesting, ha? Anyway, from my experience, Solaris boxes don't seem to know that a terminal type LINUX exists. So, before I ssh into a solaris box, on my GNU/Linux system, I always do export TERM=VT100 , and then I ssh, and things work just fine on the Solaris box. This may not be the way to do things, or there may be a better way, but what I described works for me.
