Hmm ok it's a readline feature. Looks like /etc/inputrc should work too. |

If not adding INPUTRC="/etc/inpurc" to /etc/profile should do the job. |

At least I found such a file on a Suse6.3 system. I will add it to our |
42 |
baselayout package. |

Can you take a look at it. It seems you are more familary with it? |

commit it with all the other sys-stuff |
