Corrupted terminal types on login. (HELP !)

Yesterday we changed the uic of some accounts on our 4D/240 running 3.3.1 and
chowned the users files as part of a move towards a common UIC domain on
campus.
About the time this was going on all telent logins suddenly decided that
their terminal type was wyse-50. This caused chaos for a while until we
patched the /etc/cshrc file to reset TERM to vt220 (which is correct in
95% of the cases).
stty line 1 erase '^?' kill '^U' intr '^C' echoe -onlret
eval `tset -s -Q`
The term is setup by the above lines (extracted from /etc/cshrc). I have read
the man pages for tset but it does not explicitly say where it gets the
terminal type from for telnet logins when you do tset -s.
Does anybody know?
Thanks Russell.
