UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

This is truly embarrassing but I have to know the answer anyway

Can anyone share, how to assign keyboard mapping in hp-ux system? Every time I issue command which contain character "@", it'll go the next line. What I need is how to assign the character "@" to @ as it is supposed to be.

Example

Code:

 tuah:~ (51) % ssh olli@
tuah:~ (52) %

Appreciate with help that'll be given. Thank u!

In HP-UX @ is a reserved character and acts as it is supposed to be..., in HP-UX that is...
The reason?
When you connect at the login prompt, till you are connected there is no stty nor terminal set and so if you entered a wrong character, even if using backspace it erased at the display it is not the case in the input buffer and so @ which at the display seems to go to the next line only erases the buffer content...
You could at the prompt type dummy@vbe the HPUX understand login name vbe...

Workaround:
Have you tried:

Code:

 % ssh olli\@...

Ah, so the reserved character it is. Thanks for the insight! And the workaround works too!

PS: If this forum having points to assign like in ITRC, sure I'll give u 10
