default terminal type

How do I set the default terminal type for all users... is there a way
independant than their individual profile/login files?

All of a sudden, users are complaining that pine says:

   Your terminal, of type "", is lacking functions needed to run pine.

They're using a mix of csh, bash, and tcsh. I know the term can be set
command line and through the profiles, but what may have caused the
default to stop working? I doubt all the users changed their profiles.

Thanks,
Dan
