- You may have a look at the first lines of /etc/termcap:
-
- # @(#) $Revision: 37.1 $
-
- # Important:
- # This file is here only for compatibility purposes.
- # It is not referenced by the curses(3X) library routines,
- # the termcap(3X) emulation routines, or the terminfo routines.
- # Instead of /etc/termcap these routines use the terminfo(5)
- # terminal data base under /usr/lib/terminfo.
-
- Try putting a file named sun-cmd in /usr/lib/terminfo/s.
