It's in ~user/.profile:
> stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
I.e. that stty(1) command *changes* the kill character from the
(termio(7)/SVID/XPG/standard) default '@' to '^U'.
However, as I said before, the problem, especially with (X) windows
environments, often is that .profile (and /etc/profile) are not executed
if the environment is not configured correctly.
So, again: Let the user reproduce the problem. Then do a "stty -a". If
that shows that kill is set to '@' then do a "stty kill "^U"" and see if
that solves the problem. If so, figure out why .profile is not executed,
because (then) that is the *real* problem.
