Red Hat character set issues now resolved; thanks!

Hi all,

Thanks to Janina for the excellent lead to the root of my issue with all the "garbage" characters when remotely establishing a terminal to one of my RH boxes.  I used locale -a to determine the correct locale setting, then removed the .utf8 from the end of the lang spec in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, rebooted and my issue is resolved.  Since I know most things in Linux should not require a reboot, how could I have avoided this in this situation?

Thanks.

Logging out and back in should have taken care of it.  Even better, export 
LANG=en_US in the current session.

          HTH and 73.

Hi Bill,

So, upon login, the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file is read?

Thanks.

Yes.  Also, because Unix is multi-user, each user can have his/her own 
.i18n file, note the leading dot.

          73.
