----- Forwarded message from Albert Cahalan -----
From: Alan Cox <alan@cymru.net> ..snip... Any setup with suid root software that gets IO privileges is broken. Any setup that lets the user jam the console into some weird keyboard/video mode is broken. I hope some of this stuff can get fixed in post-2.0 Linux.
----- End of forwarded message from Albert Cahalan ----- I second that. Have you ever tried to reset a virtual terminal to non |||| semigraphical mode after cat-ing a binary file? Even exit and hitting ctrl-d on the login, which helps on other systems, does not here. Any known ways to reset the terminal to readable characters?
