If the user's login shell is csh everything is fine, if the login shell is sh then some problems occur. If the user does an su and then runs sysadm it refuses to go past the first menu returning the error: L^A^F:L^A^F unable to open when ever a selection is made. It also returns this error if you try and quit the program. This is using the BSD ptys. Iain Wacey cat@pluto.dss.com
