Hi!
Everytime I log into a non Debian system I have to set the
TERM variable to xterm or vt100 manually, because the system
doesn't know "xterm-debian" of course
I don't think this was intended, so I guess I must be missing

when I ssh from an xterm to such a remote system, I always get errors.

Hi!
I've been annoyed for a long time now with the fact that Debian uses

Where have I gone wrong?

Hi,
I solved the same problem I had with TERM=rxvt by copying the rxvt
entry from Linux to /usr/share/lib/terminfo/r directory in Solaris.
Another way to do this is to use TERMINFO variable and set it to e.g.
