[Sheflug] login weirdness

[Andrew Basterfield <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been running Slackware 7 for the last 2 years and I thought it had no
new suprises for me.

I've recently added an OpenBSD/sparc box to the LAN - after I log in as
root either at the console or via ssh it asks me what type of terminal I
am using (generally prompting me with a sensible guess). The weird thing
is my Slackware box has just started doing the same thing too. I really
don't mind but I'm curious to know what's going on (guessing
kerberos/ssh?).

If any encryption wizards out there can shed any light...?

thanks

A. Basterfield
