Ukkonen >Release: 3.1 >Organization: SysOpen Group >Environment: FreeBSD 3.1 >Description: When using tcsh as the login shell the ctype locales pointlessly print an error message at login time if LC_CTYPE is set. This is extremely irritating when trying to transfer files using rcp to a system which suffers from this problem. The same problem has been there at least since version 2.2.1 through all the revisions to the current 3.1. >How-To-Repeat: Set tcsh as your login shell. Put the line "setenv LC_CTYPE fi_FI.ISO_8859-1" to your .tcshrc file. Try first rsh to the system where you did these changes. You should see a garbled error message. Then try rcp something to the system. This should completely fail due to the way rcp handles unexpected output from the peer. >Fix: Not known yet, but I definitely let you know if/when I find one. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
