This is pretty much the same request as an old mailing list thread http://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=134073696320230&w=2 for almost exactly the same reason: some machines don't have new-enough terminal info databases to support newer TERM strings ("rxvt-unicode-256color" in my case). As such, I'd like to be able to override the TERM that is forwarded to some machines from my .ssh/config. The solutions proposed in that post don't work well for me because I like having a shared .bashrc and don't want to go making it super long just to have a big list of hosts that don't support "*-256color". Following is a git-formatted patch to implement this feature. It's based against the 6.6-p1 tarballs as I'm not really sure what else to base it against. Hopefully that's OK? _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
