The terminfo files for any terminals you're shipping should be on the CD. And if people expect to ssh or telnet in, they may find it a pain to copy over a terminfo file from somewhere else and set up their own database somewhere writable and point TERMINFO at it. And others might be very confused when vi goes into open mode when it can't find a terminal definition. That said, SUNWter is missing a handful of important / interesting terminal descriptions, so it could be that the majority of users wouldn't find their terminal (putty, windows shell, xterm-256color, ...) in there anyway. It's small, so it seems to me to be a no-brainer to include it, but every little bit adds up. > >>> SUNWbart Basic Audit Reporting Tool > > > > Built-in functionality similar to tripwire.
