system: Debian-60-squeeze-64-LAMP 2.6.32-5-amd64
As root I create a user in an ssh-console:
useradd -m -G users myuser
passwd myuser
xxxxxx
xxxxxx
su myuser or after login via ssh I get:
\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[01;33m\]@\[\033[01;36m\]\h \[\033[01;33m\]\w \[\033[01;35m\]$ \[\033[00m\] plus the cursor
Using the tab key the cursor just jumps forward, so no completion here.
Also the arrow keys do NOT work, if I use right arrow key I get:^[[C
What could cause this behavior?
