Hi. I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE and I am getting strange behavior when trying to login with a customized /etc/csh.login that gives a value to the LANG or LC_TYPE environment variable. If I use the following version of /etc/csh.login with a "setenv LANG" statement uncommented, the script is executed when I login but it never gets to the "echo 300" line. If I comment the line, everything is fine, but I can't use the proper locale. If I uncomment the "setenv LC_CTYPE" line, about the same thing happens, but the script execution stops with about 15 characters of garbage written to the terminal. Any ideas I could try? I run a Pentium 200 MHz with 64M RAM, 3 ISA ports and 4 PCI ports. I was previously running FreeBSD 2.1.0 and I customized the csh.login of 2.2.2 by integrating most statements of the version I ran under 2.1.0. I installed 2.2.2 over a newly formatted partition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- echo START csh.login # System-wide .login file for csh(1). # Uncomment this to give you the default 4.2 behavior, where disk # information is shown in K-Blocks setenv BLOCKSIZE K # Uncomment this two lines to activate Russian locale # setenv LANG ru_RU.KOI8-R # setenv MM_CHARSET KOI8-R # Uncomment this two lines to activate Italian locale # setenv LANG it_IT.ISO_8859-1 # setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1 # For full locales list check /usr/share/locale/* # For the fr_CA locale: #setenv LANG fr_CA.ISO_8859-1 # this is the line that causes the behavior setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1 echo 100 # Read system messages # msgs -f # Allow terminal messages # mesg y # Version du 97-07-20 par Pierre Sarrazin. # To make vi 8-bit clean (96-05-13): #setenv LC_CTYPE lt_LN.ISO_8859-1 # cette ligne fait freaker le systeme --PS 970720 # Controle de flot CTS/RTS pour le momem (95-12-04) if (`tty` == /dev/ttyd1) stty crtscts # Pour eviter les coredump: limit coredumpsize 0 echo 200 set path=(/usr/local/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/games) mesg y # pour permettre les talk et les write echo 300 setenv XWINHOME /usr/X11R6 setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S echo 400 setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:$XWINHOME/man #setenv PAGEINITLYNX /usr/local/txt/public_html/index.html setenv MAIL /var/mail/$USER echo FIN csh.login --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Pierre Sarrazin <ps@cam.org> [Montreal]help
