Hi,
Most of the shells can use the arrow keys. Korn-shell (standard on your OS) can do it as well. It's just a matter of telling him to do.
"set -o vi" will set him in vi mode
"set -o emacs" will set him in emacs mode.
I think vi mode will get the most close to your needs. Maybe someone else knows the best option for you. (Don't know how bash exact works)

P.S. : If it is your job to maintain a server, I'dd defintly choose for h,j,k and l. What happens if your server dies and you should boot up in single user mode? First install bash?
