SubjectRe: stty -a rows/columns still broken (1.3.81).
Date
You claim the following is a problem:

> gomer:~# stty -a
> speed 9600 baud; rows 48; columns 80; line = 0;

Sarcastic (but true) answer:

I claim that, for as long as I can remember, on any Un*x
I've run, for any size terminal, for any kind of network
connection, this has *always* been flaky.

Please put "eval `resize`" or somesuch in your .login (or
whatever).

Humble(r) answer:

Frankly, I'm floored. How could Linux 1.3.72 not screw up
what every other Unix I've worked with has?

Well, anyway, maybe it is a networking problem with Linux,
even to localhost. Wouldn't surprise me. Try to figure out
how the mechanism is supposed to work in rlogin... then
figure out which packets are being dropped, or what.
