Hi!

After I've updated from SuSE 6.2 to 6.4 I've got the following problem:

If I want to start pico I get:
" 'ansi': unknown terminal type. "

If I want to start man I get:
"WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"

And lots of other programs suck this way.

It doesn't matter whether I access it with ssh or telnet.
The only exception is rlogin.

Any help would be nice!
Robert

What happens if you do a
	export TERM=vt100
or
	export TERM=xterm

on a rlogin do a 
	echo $TERM
and export it on the other login types.
