Hi Scottn
I think I got the issue. For saving any file, I use the F2 keywhich is mapped to :wq!. My .exrc file reads something like this ( i have an explicit ^M below to get the enter):

Code:
map #2 :wq!^M

It could be that when I press F2 to save at the end, it somehow puts the ^M at the end of every line I believe. However, the same kind of setting I use in my Solaris and HP-UX boxes where I never faced any issue like this.

Do you think this could be the issue?

Guru.

pam_issue is a PAM module to prepend an issue file to the username prompt. It also by default parses escape codes in the issue file similar to some common getty's (using x format). Recognized escapes: d current day l name of this tty m machine architecture (uname -m) machine's network node hostname (uname -n) o domain name of this system release number of operating system (uname -r) current time s operating system name (uname -s) u number of users currently logged in U same as u except it is suffixed with "user" or "users" (eg. "1 user" or "10 users") v operating system version and build date (uname -v) OPTIONS
noesc Turns off escape code parsing. issue=issue-file-name The file to output if not using the default. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the auth module type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error. PAM_IGNORE The prompt was already changed. PAM_SERVICE_ERR A service module error occurred. PAM_SUCCESS The new prompt was set successfully. EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific issue at login: auth optional pam_issue.so issue=/etc/issue SEE ALSO
