      I just received the strangest error when login into ssh, from the options menu, before choosing 8) Shell, there is a top line mssage

      No entry for terminal type "screen.xterm-256color";
      using dumb terminal settings.

      A couple of days ago I had did the upgrade from 2.6.0 to 2.7.0. Everything seemed fine and I had two screens stored, meaning After the upgrade reboot I was able to make these screen etc. I did a reboot and I am stuck with the same problem...

      Now, I cannot open these screens -r by its name of ID, ssh works, clear does not and screen does not with error Cannot find terminfo entry for 'screen.xterm-256color'.

      So most of my command no longer work and online fixes do not seem to be compatible with freeBSD or this flavor of pfsense

      Does anyone have any idea about this?
