Unknown terminal type
I ssh'ed to my CentOS 6 server from my NoMachine NX urxvt session (older archbang), and some commands (like clear), give this:
[root@storage ~]# clear
'rxvt-unicode-256color': unknown terminal type.
Not entirely clear about why this happens; anyone have a clear explanation?

Use another terminal.

I don't really know. I just googled.
can you just switch your terminal to use xterm?
