Ok, maybe I assumed too much from your initial post.  Some questions:

1. Are you logging in from text login prompt or the GUI login screen
(from xdm, gdm, kdm(?), et al.)?

LOGGING IN TEXT LOGIN PROMPT

And that leads to the next question:

2. Does the problem occur in a text screen or the X Window environment?
THE PROBLEM OCCURS IN BOTH ENVIRONMENTS

3. What is the response to

  echo $TERM

LINUX IN TEXT ENV.
XTERN IN X WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT

in the problem environment?
