If you talk about recomended (repeat, I don't see mechanism in base systems for maping country/language to login class/locale) locale (in handbook, for example) -- now, yesterday, tomorrow -- what you like. I talk about changing existing behavior. Not about default. About behavior. About backward comaptibility. For example: existing system, user witch login class 'russian'. Files named in koi8 and content in koi8. All work. Upgrade to 11.0 (source upgrade, mergemaster -I -U). Now files content inacessible (replaced russian chars by '?' or <hex>), file names print as '??????'. I think this is not like. (I currently in migration from koi8 locale to utf8 on multiple systems. This is very complicated process. Unconditionaly forcing this -- bad idea). > S> I don't see any scrip/tools (in base systems) for creating users and > S> ack 'language/locale for user'. > > I do see. > > adduser(8) asks explicitly, or you can specify it via -L argument. > chpass(1) allows to modify it, if run as super-user. In this cases you input any arbitrary string. No defaults (other then 'default' login class), no mapinig 'somewhere' => login class. This is not changing /etc/adduser.conf or /etc/pw.conf. You can create some script, addon to bsdinstall, for example, analyse answer to keyboard mapping/screen map, ask about generate pw.conf/adduser.conf and create this files with defaultclass=russian_utf8.

Nice.
