Problem when on a Linux box ?

[tsmets@lautre.net]

Config is the following :
client-wks is Win2000 with cygwin on it
Servers are Linux Mandrake 8.1
When I SSH to the server : no problemo
but when I try to "vi", I got this :
<snip>
             Administrator@CALVIN ~
            $ ssh -l root 192.168.1.254
            root@192.168.1.254's password:
            Last login: Tue Feb 26 03:19:58 2002 from 192.168.1.101
            root@ruther root]# vi
            
            Terminal entry not found in terminfo
            'cygwin' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
               builtin_riscos
               builtin_amiga
               builtin_beos-ansi
               builtin_ansi
               builtin_pcansi
               builtin_win32
               builtin_vt320
               builtin_vt52
               builtin_xterm
               builtin_iris-ansi
               builtin_debug
               builtin_dumb
            Defaulting to 'ansi'
</snip>

How can I change the setting to suite the needs of the linux ?
The main problem being that I cannot use Midnight Commander, 
neither applicaation like linuxconf over teh session !

[root@ruther root]# linuxconf
Error opening terminal: cygwin.
[root@ruther root]# mc
Unknown terminal: cygwin
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.
[root@ruther root]#

Would someone have an idea ?
