I've had to deal with a somewhat different issue; preferring to suppress color support. I used to use "tput colors" to test for the number of colors supported, and re-define TERM as needed. More recently, I taken to simply overriding the terminfo definitions for those terminal types that I use by creating a ~/.terminfo directory or ~/.terminfo.db database. -- Iain Morgan _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
