In /etc/ssh/sshd_config you'll see a lines starting with "AcceptEnv" - one of the settings will be LANG. This tells the ssh daemon to accept the LANG value sent by the client. A standard ssh client (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) has "SendEnv" settings, and LANG is one of those... So you can do various things: 1) Stop sshd from accepting LANG (edit sshd_config, restart) 2) Stop ssh client from sending LANG 3) Modify .profile -- rgds Stephen
