In order to save space, etc., the termcap in /etc was replaced by a
symbolic link to /usr/share ...
lobster: {10} ls -l /etc/term*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Nov 12 05:25 /etc/termcap ->
/usr/share/misc/termcap
Since /usr/share is a prime candidate for nfs, I mounted it from another machine
lobster: {14} df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
[...]
eel:/usr/share 834446 644310 123380 84% /usr/share
If the mount goes as expected, everything is great.
But what if eel is down?
Now login doesn't want to let me in because it cannot recognize by terminal :-(
I have copied termcap from shared storage to /etc. IMHO, since login
requires the file, it is a REQUIRED configuration file. Therefore it should
be in the required configuration area, /etc.
