I was just trying to log into "paris", and I was being prompted for the
"terminal type"
The following line is in my .startup.tty:
tset -s -Q -m 'switch:?vt100' -m 'dialup:?vt100' -m 'network:?vt100'
so I got:
TERM = (vt100)
I was logging in from an xterm on the local system, and as I recall, the
TERM type is passed over the connection. It seems that the TERM type is
being clobbered by the terminal-type entry for the pty in /etc/ttys
("network"). This makes that section of environment passing rather
useless...
The client is a RISC/6000, and I have no problems with remote logins
into VAX, RT, or RISC/6000 servers; the TERM variable is properly
propogated.
