The command works just fine on my i-mac and it works using secure shell to my X server. What could be wrong on my powerbook? Other than that, try opening another window and ktrace'ing ("ktrace - id") the program that's fork'ing and exec'ing the stty operation. Note that stty is not "sticky", so it's not like you can set it on someone else's terminal, or if there's an intervening close such that there's zero applications holding the terminal open. If this is a C program, and you are doing this to read something you don't want echoed back, consider using "getpass" instead. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
