It's _supposed_ to set the variable according to the "tt" parameter from the entry retrieved from /etc/gettytab. The current version seems to be hardcoded to set it to "gnocon" tho. > I do not set it in the gshrc file but everytime I log into the system > the variable is being set to gnocon. > If I login from a terminal connected to the .ttya line, I would like > this environment variable set to vt100 but its not. Until getty is fixed you'll have to find some other way to set it the way you want it. Possible solutions are set it in your gshrc, create another account and set the term variable in the gshrc or change it manually from the command line. -- \ | _ _|_ _| | Jeff Markham (Dragon King) _ \ _ \ _ \ | -_) | | _` |(_-< | markhj01@visi.com _/ _\ .__/ .__/_|\___| ___|___|\__, |___/ | http://www.visi.com/~markhj01 _| _| ____/ _| ftp.visi.com:/users/markhj01
