Gurus,
Sorry if this is a long-winded explanation but I
haven't seen this one and am a bit perplexed. It's
probably something simple I'm overlooking.
After patching an Ultra-60 running Sol 2.6 users are
unable to expand their vi sessions beyond 80x24 when
SSH/telnet'ing to the box. For example, 'vi
/etc/services' brings up 24 lines of the file and you
can scroll forward/backward but not view more than 24
lines. This occurs while using SSH or telnet from other Solaris machines, not xterm, and
only began after patching. Works fine when
exporting xterm to another machine and setting
-geometry.
Did an ldd and truss on vi to see what it was using
for libraries. I copied the vi binary and appropriate
libraries from another 2.6 system that was working
properly to /var/tmp, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and ran
that version of vi. It was still limited to 24 lines
and the only original library being used was the
/usr/platform/$PLATFORM/lib/libc_psr.so.1 aux library.
That library is fixed in libc.so.1 and was part of the
kernel patch 105181-34 that was applied. So it's my
prime suspect right now.
Whew.. sorry for the terrible explanation. Anyone else seeing this type of behavior and perhaps
have a workaround?
Thanks and I'll do a better job of summarizing
Buzz
