It's not being set in .bashrc or .profile (although I suppose it should be). It's not being set from login.conf ( think that's where my PATH variable is being set from, though). I've set the definition in make.conf, so the environment variable shouldn't matter, but it bugs me that I can't find the text string "en_US.ISO_8859-1" anywhere. Oh, it's only set for 'root', if that makes a difference. When I log on as a regular user it isn't set, but after I 'su -' it is. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
