Dear Athena Hotline,

There seems to be something seriously wrong with the setup on sg6 (which we
are using as a tape backup machine). The permissions to various things seem
to be wrong or they are not installed. Maybe a refresh of the athena software 
is needed? Some of the error messages received are:

...........

tcsh: No entry for terminal type "xterm"
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.

...........

[athena:~ ]  man restore
No manual entry found for restore.

...........

[athena:~ ]  help -tty
Starting lynx World-Wide Web browser...
Sorry, terminfo file for "xterm" terminal is not readable.
The lynx browser failed.
Please call 3-4435 if you need help.

...........

None of these errors occur on sg7 which is similar hardware.

Thanks for your help.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me email.

Regards,
        Peter Nelson
