      Hello,

      I have an SG3100 running 24.11. We use Auvik for network monitoring. When Auvik logs in via SSH to pull the config the console shows the following message:

      tcsh: No entry for terminal type "vanilla"
      tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
      [24.11-RELEASE][MgmtUser1@fw-fl1-clst-sg3100-21.client.lan/home/User1:

      Does this indicate something unexpected or incorrect is being passed during the login?
      When I ssh in directly, I do not get the message about terminal type vanilla.

      Thank you.

        @pfnewb2016 it does mean that the environment variable $TERM is set to "vanilla" by Auvik and passed on to pfSense. I haven't seen that value set for $TERM but that doesn't say much :).

        If you login by ssh that is set by your shell. "xterm", "xterm-color" or "xterm-256color" are usual value in shell. E.g. for me with iTerm on macOS it is set to "xterm-256color".
