Weird Remote Login Bug
Ever since upgrading to OSX 10.2.1, I’ve noticed an error message appearing whenever I remotely login to my Powerbook. I duplicated it here by using the login command.
[kaffe:~] matthew% login matthew

Shall we play a game?
tcsh: Cannot open /etc/termcap.
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
[kaffe:~] matthew%
Anyone know why this is suddenly appearing? AFAIK, OSX shouldn’t really care about the termcap file. I did some searches on OSX forums and couldn’t find any relevant info. Help is appreciated.

can shed some light on this. In my case,
sudo sh -c ‘echo “setenv TERM “vt100″” >> /etc/csh.cshrc’
fixed this problem.
