I appreciate it. Just for the documentation of it all -- I messed up by putting my language setting under the "default:" catagory in /etc/login.conf. I needed to ALSO create a separate "me:" catagory like so: me:\ :tc=default: I suppose the real moral to the story is: be very careful what you overwrite during mergemaster. It's my guess that I overwrote /etc/login.conf at some point when my eyes were glassed over. -N ====== Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.
