It is obvious from rc.conf that global keyboard mappings can be set with kbdcontrol, but I was hoping somebody could tell me the best way for users to remap the keyboard=20 settings for their and only their shells. Specifically, I would like to have the global keyboard mapping set to the US standard (QWERTY), but some of my users want to set theirs to DVORAK. Any ideas? I'm running FreeBSD-2.2.2.
