This can be annoying if you regularly need to type Ctrl-D in other situations, for example, when trying to disconnect from a Telnet session. In such a situation, hitting Ctrl-D once too often will close your shell, which can be very frustrating. This option disables the use of Ctrl-D to exit the shell. >From the "Working More Productively with Bash": http://www.caliban.org/bash/index.shtml -derek
