Hello,
Thanks for your answers, I changed the shell to sh (vipw made the trick).
As for the ESC char, the 'set -E' doesn't work in csh (set: variable name
must begin with a letter) and fail in sh (No entry for terminal type
network, using dumb terminal setting). Under sh, the 'set -E' fail with this
error and then all the terminal app (ie pico, vi...) just fail...
I'm using NetBSD 1.6 with a ssh connection.

I can't think of the exact command off of the top of my head, but pwd_mkdb
should fix that.
