Jesper, Both environments have the following setup: [root@up ~][10:21am] $ set | egrep -i "^lang|^lc" LANG=C LANGUAGE=C [root@up ~][10:21am] $ locale LANG=C LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL= [root@up ~][10:22am] $
Well... except for the prompt string, but you know what I mean. Both accounts use the same ~/.bash_* files with logic to change umask/prompts/paths depending on which me I am at the moment, so their environments are very similar. I appreciate your assistance.
