A user, running the popular shareware DOS communications program Telemate, logged in via rlogin from my BBS. He accepted the terminal type `pc3'... but whenever he used programs that need his terminal size, like more or pico, it insisted that his screen height was 1 or 2 lines. If he logs in using telnet, he doesn't have that problem. If I rlogin and log in to his account, my terminal works fine (cons25 and also a minimal 25-line ansi terminal from the BBS). The man page for rlogind mentioned something about getting the `window size' from the terminal... but it doesn't say how it's doing it. I've also tried the ansi and dosansi termcaps with no change. Anybody have a clue what's going on here? I'm running 2.1-STABLE and at the moment am just in the process of adding the tcp_wrapper port. -Dave Babler
