Keyboard mapping stuffed in terminal

  • 772

I'm logging into a remote linux box:

 Linux lbox 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and my keyboard mapping seems to have gone down the drain.

up: ^[[A
down: ^[[B
right: ^[[C
left: ^[[D
tab: Real tab (doesn't do auto-completion)

What is happening?

    apparently I was automatically logged into /bin/sh instead of the bash shell

    typing: bash brought me into the bash shell

    > bash

    Now looking into making bash my default shell
