 Name

    ttytype - set terminal types automatically at login

 Description

    The file /etc/ttytype will automatically set up a user's terminal type
    when they log in.  The user's .login or .profile must contain the correct
    tset(C) command for this to work.

    In a .profile:

       eval `tset -s`

    In a .login:

       tset -s -Q > /tmp/tset$$; source /tmp/tset$$; /bin/rm /tmp/tset$$

    Each line in the /etc/ttytype file specifies a terminal type for a par-
    ticular tty line.

    The file has the format:

       terminal type   tty

    You can use ``unknown'' as the terminal type if you want to put an entry
    in for a particular line, but you don't know its terminal type.
