Whenever I use ssh (I'm not sure about telnet) to connect to the slakware boxes at work through an xterm or rxvt and try to use pine and pico etc, I get an error about unknown terminal xterm-debian (or rxvt). I can solve this by export TERM=xterm, but I'm just wondering if there is any particular reason debians xterm set TERM to this and if there isn't, how do I change it so that it doesn't anymore. -- Regards, Andrew Clark
