I don't think it's a permissions problem since both termcap and termcap.db are readable to all users (- r--r--r--). I rebuilt the termcap.db file (in /usr/share/misc/ termcap) by running "cap_mkdb termcap", but this didn't fix the terminal. I also tried rebuilding and reinstalling the termcap source from /usr/ src/share/termcap, but I am still getting this error, and it's making my box pretty unusable. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot in advance. Alex
