Setmaps errors

Question:

Getting setmaps errors when I logoff my machine. I have just finished
upgrading from 3.1.5 to 3.2.5 I get the following errors when I logoff
my system:

  setmaps: makemaps: a file or directory in the pathname does notexist
  setmaps: unable to create map from /usr/lib/nls/termmap/ibm3151-c.in
  setmaps: makemaps: a file or directory in the pathname does notexist
  setmaps: unable to create map from /usr/lib/nls/termman/ibm3151-c.out

Then I get a login prompt. What causes these errors, and can I get rid
of them?

The messages above are telling you that a file does not exist. To fix
this run smit and go to the following:

     Devices
       TTY
          Change/Show Characteristics of tty
             Change/Show NLS Mapping Discipline of a TTY

 Inside here, make sure the following coincide:

INPUT map file                                     [none]     + 
OUTPUT map file                                    [none]     +

These should be set to none, unless you have a terminal that has the
specific map file. For AIX 3.2.5, you have the following choices:

 none
 aixterm
 ibm3161-C
 ibm3164-german
 vt220

If you had previous files that were custom made read them from
a backup tape into the /usr/lib/nls/termmap directory.
