putty terminal type and freenas

[GunbleR]

I'm trying to make putty transfer properly Home, End, Backspace and Delete keys. although web shell is set for "xterm", setting putty to that didn't help, as-well as:
xterm-256color, putty, linux, screen.
setting Home/End to "rxvt" makes it recognize Home, but End gives no response.
what is the correct setting?


also, using "iocage console" with "exec_clean=1(def)" replaces variable term in jail to "xterm-256color", which contradicts to that flag description in ui&manual.
was it intentional? is there a workaround to specify another one?

iocage_lib/iocage.py:

Code:

       if exec_clean:
            env_path = '/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:' \
                '/usr/local/bin:/root/bin'
            env_lang = os.environ.get('LANG', 'en_US.UTF-8')
            su_env = {
                'PATH': env_path,
                'PWD': '/',
                'HOME': '/',
                'TERM': 'xterm-256color',
                'LANG': env_lang,
                'LC_ALL': env_lang
}

running:
FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1
putty Release 0.71

Did you find a solution for this?

It does work, but its not a solution i wanted.
Just defined the missing keys in .cshrc and pushed changes to jails.
Also, editing iocage.py to get term from host, like lang does work as intended. Ill probably file a bug later
