So I have a Gentoo instance running, and I SSH into it using Mac terminal.

I then fire up a second Mac terminal, SSH into the "box", login... and am presented with the screen contents of the first login session.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

That's interesting. What does "grep $yourusername /etc/passwd" say on the Linode?

Additionally, is there anything set in this box:



in your profile's Preferences?

Nope.

This is a fresh Gentoo 2008 install.

Thanks for the reply,
