This must be the weirdest problem I have ever seen... I got an email this
morning from one of my users, he complained about not being able to type the
letter 'e ' when using bash. If he changed to csh, it was okay.

I confirmed the problem myself:

[root@*** root]# echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[root@*** root]# su - ***
[***@*** ***]$ cho abcdfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
bash: cho: command not found

As you can see, if I 'su ' to his account I can 't type the letter 'e ' either.
No other users have reported anything like this.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any hints on where to start
looking? I have triple-checked his .bash* files but quite frankly I have no
idea what to look for and they look exactly like every other set of .bash*
files I 've ever seen...
