SSH and termtype

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are using SSH telnet to connect, the TERM environmental variable in unix always shows as vt100 even when the chosen terminal type in ACCUTERM is different.  I found this problem when choosing wyse60 or other vt emulations like vt220 or ADDS. 

example from unix env

SSH_CLIENT=164.72.40.188 2043 22

TERM=vt100

	Sorry, I found the problem. Our Solaris Security Toolkit hard coded the term type in /etc/profile. I have no idea why it would do that.
