I have become very attached to my enlarged screen, 132 by 60, but would like to allow access to a user account via ssh for someone who will not be comfortable with those dimensions. Is there any way to revert to an 80 by 25 screen just for that user, or for that session, without reverting to those figures for the whole system? Any ideas or opinions appreciated. Ideas preferred of course, but opinions welcome too.
