Tab Names and Window Sizes
  • I've been using SuperPutty since about the time of the recent Putty upgrade.


    It's working great except one two things:


    1.  I connect via ssh to a Check Point firewall (running SPLAT - hardened linux).  When I first connect, I am in "cp" mode, and have access to a very limited set of commands.  This causes putty to not be able to set the title bar with the host name of the firewall, and instead, I get the IP address I connected to.  However, when I enter "expert" mode, I get access to all the commands, and putty updates the title bar to have the name of the server.  SuperPutty does not appear to do this, which isn't that big of an issue, except that my firewalls have very similar IP address (differing only by the 2nd octet), and I suspect that someday, I am going to reboot the wrong firewall.


    2.  I have all of my putty sessions configured to a screen size of 80x25, but I suspect that the default screen size I get when I connect via SuperPutty is not 80x25.  It is narrower, for sure.  I can maximize the window, but then I get something wider.


    Any words of wisdom would be great. :)


    thanks for listening,
