You would have expected to get an error message from csh along the
lines of "$TERM not found in /etc/termcap" not "Cannot find
/etc/termcap" wouldn't you?

I don't know why it would take OpenBSD's $TERM. ssh should take $TERM
from the target machine (according to the openssh manpage) which is
cons25 by default. Is there a ~/.ssh/environment with $TERM set on
your Samba server?
You might want to set it there for future use to cons25.
