Yes. That was what i was trying to accomplish.
According to the debian reference guide you can stop
the beeping by adding set bell-style none to the
inputrc file. I tried that but vi and man kept on
beeping. Adding the same command to my own bash
and inputrc file didn't help. That's why i was trying
the setterm -blength 0 command.
My computer room is next to our bedroom so when my wife
is asleep, the beeper *really* needs to shutup :-)

Well, i tested this again and it's connected to that line.
I've put the "setterm -blength 0" command in the /etc/inputrc
file, saved and then logged in. My s was gone again.
I removed the line, exit, logged in again. s key worked again.
