Anyone seen this, or can explain it, or have suggestions ?
When I started to get prompted for my TERM type on tty01, I found out that
the 'tset' command wasn't working -- it gives 'unknown', even tho' the first
lines in /etc/ttytype are :
ansi console
ansi tty01
Also, the 'who am i' command gives no response. However, a simple 'who'
shows me logged on to tty01. This suggests to me that 'who am i' uses some
shortcut to find the logged-on user, which 'who' doesn't, and this is
failing. This would also explain tset's failure, despite the entry in
/etc/ttytype being OK. 'logname' works OK. Power cycling my machine has no
effect. The other multiscreens all work fine.
I'm running SCO UNIX 3.2
Thanks,
