Problems with TermCap

am quite new to FreeBSD (a month!). I have just rebuilt my machine to
FreeBSD 5-Release
Everything was working okay and I could connect via SSH to the machine...
Accidently, I delted the /usr/misc/share/termcap file.
I grabbed the termcap.small from freebsd.org (only one I could find) and
installed it and then ran the cap_mkdb util.
The console seems to be ok, but when I telnet in or ssh into the system I
get an error.
Telnet says cannot read termcap database, using dumb terminal settings and
ssh says csh: cannot open etc/termcap
Etc/termcap is a symbolic link to /usr/misc/share/termcap.
I am sure it is something simple I have missed, but would appreciate help
