There have been some changes to the default /root/.login recently that I don't understand, and hope someone can enlighten me.
On my oldest server, the root shell is still csh, so the change is very noticeable: Using the /root/.login from the 4.5 CD, when I login there is a terminal type prompt which has always included the proper terminal type as default. The /root/.login from the current snapshot always results in an unknown terminal type, so I have to type in the terminal type myself before proceeding. Is this as intended? *----------------------------------------------------------------------* Last login: Fri Jul 10 11:32:12 2009 from herakles.walkereng.net OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #58: Thu Jul 9 21:24:42 MDT 2009 Welcome to OpenBSD: The proactively secure Unix-like operating system.
