Yes, but there is another problem:

$ ssh cvs.openbsd.org

$ top
top: no termcap entry for a `rxvt-unicode-256color' terminal

Installing rxvt-unicode on all the machines you want to ssh to is
not a viable solution.
And because of this I'm also forcing the default terminal type to
be 'rxvt-256color' using the '--with-term=rxvt-256color' configure
argument for our rxvt-unicode port.

Since rxvt-unicode is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative
to xterm, here's why I'm asking to add its terminfo entries to the
system termcap...

Cheers,
David
