I'm trying to set them up so that they recognise each other's console terminals, ie 'linux' and 'cons25'. My problem is that I can't find the terminfo db on the FreeBSD machine. There is a man page for terminfo that says it's in /usr/lib/terminfo/*/* (same as Linux), but that directory doesn't exist on my computer. How can I update terminfo?
