Last time I was troubled with a similar behaviour over ssh, I discovered that |
| 32 |
the default shell for the user on the remote machine (CentOS) was |
| 33 |
not /bin/bash, but /bin/<zsh, or something_else>. Changed this to good ol' |
| 34 |
bash and all these inconsistencies between my Gentoo and the remote box |
| 35 |
disappeared. |
