Hi all,
Thank for everyone reading this. This is a peculiar problem in my work place.
We use OpenSUSE 10.1 in the server which is IBM x226 and we have about 35 workstation computers (mandrake 2006 in 15 ,Fedora 3 in 8 and Fedora 5 in 2 of them).
When we work programmes such a C/C++ in individual computers they work fine with all the multicoloured text and character highlighting etc.
But whenever we use the SSh login to log onto SUSE -- the colourations are no longer and all text are Black & White.
Also some of the keys in keyboard stops working specially the "BackSpace" key in the individual computers.
BTW:- all the installations are complete...

Can some one help...

regards,
subhayu

@Subhayu, That's a bug in Suse Linux!! Novell releases patches for the bugs found,
periodically. So apply the patches from novell.com. You can apply for Suse mailing
list from novell.com. Novell will email you with the problems found, & the patch to
apply with the links to the RPM packages.

Read about some flaws in the OpenSSH here

You can also install the package quilt, a tool for working with many patches in Suse 10.1
Linux. Check this link for more details

Set TERM=xterm-color when using SSH.

And how did you find that out?

subhayu, follow what Yamraj has told you.
Its an issue with incorrect TERM settings.
