Regarding your issue with accents, I understand more now about your problem, you are using shell tools in free BSD and you have not set the LANG shell environment variable. Add the folling line to your shell environments (usually .profile). LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1; export LANG
or for german language shell messaging: LANG=de_DE.ISO_8859-1; export LANG This is a FreeBSD issue, by default LINUX sets the language environment for the shell to an ISO setting, FreeBSD does not.
