Operating Systems Linux Red Hat RHEL 7: Backup Space and Delete is not working in console Post 302947826 by Don Cragun on Monday 22nd of June 2015 09:26:25 PM
Old 06-22-2015
On most UNIX systems, the default erase character (the character you use to delete the previous character typed) and kill character (the character you use to delete everything you have typed so far on the current input line) are # and @, respectively. I don't know what they are on various Red Hat releases. Your normal login scripts probably set the erase and kill characters you're used to while running in a terminal session.

Try changing /etc/init.d/firstboot to:
Code:
stty erase '<erase character>' kill '<kill character>'
printf "Enter IP:"
read IP

where <erase character> is the literal erase character you want to use and <kill character> is the literal kill character you want to use. If you're editing the file using vi, you can enter those characters by using the sequence <ctl-v><erase character> and <ctl-v><kill character> where <ctl-v> is the character you get by pressing and releasing the v key while holding down the control key (usually labeled CNTL, CTL, or CONTROL depending on your keyboard manufacturer.

NAME
ftpaddhost - set up a virtual FTP host SYNOPSIS
ftpaddhost -c | -l [-b] [-x xferlog] hostname root_dir DESCRIPTION
The ftpaddhost script is executed by the super user to set up virtual FTP hosts. The ftpaddhost command configures the virtual host host- name under directory root_dir. The value of hostname can be an IP address or the name of a host. OPTIONS
The ftpaddhost script supports the following options: -b Create a banner for the virtual host. This option is useful to confirm that the virtual host is working. -c Configure complete virtual hosting. This option allows each virtual host to have its own version of the ftpaccess, ftpconversions, ftpgroups, ftphosts, and ftpusers files. The master version of each of these configuration files is copied from the /etc/ftpd directory and placed in the /etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/hostname directory. If the /etc/ftpusers file exists it is appended to the virtual ftpusers file. If a virtual host lacks its own version of a configuration file, the master version is used. -l Configure limited virtual hosting. This option allows a small number of parameters to be configured differently for a virtual host. See the virtual keyword on the ftpaccess(4) manual page. -x xferlog Create a logfile entry such that the transfer logs for the virtual host are written to the specified file. An abso- lute path must be specified for the xferlog file. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: hostname The host name or IP address of the virtual server. root_dir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the virtual server is set up. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 Improper usage of the command 2 Command failed FILES
/etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/hostname The configuration files directory for the virtual host hostname. ATTRIBUTES
