Yes, I mentioned this when this thread was going a few weeks ago. I only caught the locale setting being wrong on a system before it went into production because I happened to install on another system and noticed the message. I then had to ask the hosting company's SA to first check and then re-initdb. I was even sat watching/directing what he was doing and missed it. He was using Redhat with RPMs I was doing it properly from source. Those RPMs are dangerous, they turn you mind off. I voted for setting 'C' by default. -- Nigel J.
