Hi,
i supposely configured my debian etch for de_DE, but login into
a BSD server and opening a file with vi shows german characters
like \xfc \xe4 \xf6 etc.
What is missing?

------- Client machine: Etch ------------
# env
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE@euro
LANG=de_DE@euro
LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
# cat ~/.profile
export LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1"
SHELL=/bin/bash
# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="de_DE"

-------- server machine: FBSD -------------
# env
SHELL=/bin/csh
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-15
LESSCHARSET=latin1


Thanx for any tip ...

if I understand you correctly you're trying to read german chars on a BSD server ?

in that case the BSD server also needs the de_DE locale for the chars to show up correctly, judging by the info you gave the BSD server has normal en_US locales...

ok, now the BSD server has de_DE in ~/.login_conf
and in ~/.cshrc.

BSD SERVER# env
LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-15
LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1
LESSCHARSET=latin1


But the problem persists. (???)

Hrm, weird, maybe you can try changing LC_MESSAGES on the BSD server from en_US to de_DE too ?
