[Solved]Mysterious problems with SSH..

I've set up a nice Arch Linux server. She's a well-aged 667Mhz Celeron beauty.
I digress.

Im having problems with SSH just now. When I SSH in, I can log in perfectly well using my public and private key pair. However, typing is a bit funny. The backspace key acts as the space bar, along with the "del" key. Also, everynow and then, after typing, the beggining part of the shell command; ie the "root@OldBetty:" part, just disappears, and then comes back.

The strange this is, SSH works beautifully using screen..
Also, for some certain commands, I'm getting an error:

""rxvt-unicode" - unknown terminal type"

Ideas?

Re: [Solved]Mysterious problems with SSH..

You can either install urxvt on your Archlinux server, scp your local /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode to /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode on the remote host, use xterm instead of urxvt or use "export TERM=xterm" after you ssh-ed to the remote host.
