nano over ssh / dropbear doesn't work?

[Gatak]

I can't seem to run nano from the shell when logging in over ssh.

I've tried from putty:

# nano
Error opening terminal: xterm.

and from ssh

# ssh 192.168.0.100
root@192.168.0.100's password:
# nano
Error opening terminal: screen.

Anyone know what the problem could be?

I guess it is because "export TERM="screen" (or xterm) is set and it doesn't match correctly?

Got it to work !

export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo
export TERM=linux

Is there a way to automatically perform these exports at each login? Like .bashrc or bash_profile file?

OK, found it
If you edit /etc/profile it works, but /etc/bash/bashrc gets ignored.
