(Please keep me CC'd as I'm not subscribed to the list) System is base/stable/9, r245697. tcsh version is 6.18.01: $ sudo -i root@icarus:~ # sfdjsdj sfdjsdj: Command not found. root@icarus:~ # cd ~root root@icarus:~ # dsjfdsfdsf dsjfdsfdsf: Command not found. root@icarus:~ # cd ~jdc root@icarus:~jdc # sdjfdjkfjdsk sdjfdjkfjdsk: Command not found. root@icarus:/home/jdc # <---- notice sudden prompt change root@icarus:/home/jdc # cd ~root root@icarus:~ # dsfjjdskdfs dsfjjdskdfs: Command not found. root@icarus:~ # logout This only happens when an invalid command is issued (e.g. had I used "ls" instead of "blah" the prompt would not have changed). $prompt is the standard /root/.cshrc (r244005) value: set prompt = "%N@%m:%~ %# " I cannot reproduce this problem on Debian 6.0.1 with tcsh 6.17.02: $ ssh jdc@192.168.1.161 Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686 Last login: Tue Feb 3 19:22:19 2013 from icarus.home.lan jdc@debian:~$ sudo -i root@debian:~# /bin/tcsh debian:~# set prompt = "%N@%m:%~ %# " root@debian:~ # sdfsdf sdfsdf: Command not found. root@debian:~ # cd ~jdc root@debian:~jdc # sdfssgsgjsj sdfssgsgjsj: Command not found. root@debian:~jdc # exit root@debian:~# logout The number of changes between 6.17.02 and 6.18.01 seem quite large (looking at src/contrib/tcsh/Fixes). Does anyone have a non-FreeBSD system with tcsh 6.18.01 available to determine if this is a FreeBSD-centric issue or an actual issue with tcsh that needs to be reported upstream?
