Locale Setup

13.1.2. Locale Setup

There is two environment variables for locale setup:

The best way is using /etc/login.conf russian user's login class in passwd(5) entry login class position. See login.conf(5) for details.

First of all check your /etc/login.conf have russian login class, this entry may looks like:

russian:Russian Users Accounts:\
	:charset=KOI8-R:\
	:lang=ru_RU.KOI8-R:\
	:tc=default:

If you use vipw(8) for adding new users, /etc/master.passwd entry should looks like:

user:password:1111:11:russian:0:0:User Name:/home/user:/bin/csh

If you use adduser(8) for adding new users:

Set
```
defaultclass = russian
```
in /etc/adduser.conf (you must enter default class for all non-Russian users in this case);
Alternative variant will be answering russian each time when you see
```
Enter login class: default []:
```
prompt from adduser(8);
Another variant: call
```
# adduser -class russian
```
for each Russian user you want to add.

If you use pw(8) for adding new users, call it in this form:

# pw useradd user_name -L russian

If you don't want to use login class method for some reasons, just set this two environment variables in the following shell startup files:

/etc/profile:

LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R; export LANG
MM_CHARSET=KOI8-R; export MM_CHARSET

/etc/csh.login:

setenv LANG ru_RU.KOI8-R
setenv MM_CHARSET KOI8-R
