(HELP !) Message-ID: <1990Dec12.231502.21492@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz> Date: 12 Dec 90 23:15:02 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: University of Auckland, New Zealand. Lines: 23 Yesterday we changed the uic of some accounts on our 4D/240 running 3.3.1 and chowned the users files as part of a move towards a common UIC domain on campus. About the time this was going on all telent logins suddenly decided that their terminal type was wyse-50. This caused chaos for a while until we patched the /etc/cshrc file to reset TERM to vt220 (which is correct in 95% of the cases). stty line 1 erase '^?' kill '^U' intr '^C' echoe -onlret eval `tset -s -Q` The term is setup by the above lines (extracted from /etc/cshrc). I have read the man pages for tset but it does not explicitly say where it gets the terminal type from for telnet logins when you do tset -s. Does anybody know? Thanks Russell. -- Russell Fulton, Computer Center, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
