That should be 'export LANG="en" (or "C").
Ooops, thank you. That did the trick: Setup on local RH 8.0 machine where man man works on local machine [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]$ set | grep -i lang LANG=en_US.UTF-8 langfile=/home/admin/.i18n [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]$ less langfile=/home/admin/.i18n langfile=/home/admin/.i18n: No such file or directory Setup on remote RH 7.1 machine via ssh where man man line continuation hyphen does not work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ set | grep -i lang LANG=en_US langfile=/home/rh_lists/.i18n [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ less langfile=/home/rh_lists/.i18n langfile=/home/rh_lists/.i18n: No such file or directory Make change on the RH 7.1 machine [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ export LANG="en" [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ set | grep -i lang LANG=en langfile=/home/rh_lists/.i18n Now man man on the RH 7.1 machine displays the line continuation hyphen correctly. Great. Surprised to see that the RH 7.1 system needed the change and not the RH 8.0 system. The RH 8.0 /etc/sysconfig/i18n file has: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" I guess the SUPPORTED :en makes the difference locally? The RH 7.1 /etc/sysconfig/i18n file has: LANG="en_US" SUPPORTED="en_US:en" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso01" If so, why does it not work on the RH 7.1 machine via the ssh session? [snip] > I can't reproduce this here. Perhaps check to see what TERM is set to? I am using Gnome-Terminal to set up the ssh session: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# echo $TERM xterm [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) [EMAIL PROTECTED] rh_lists]$ echo $TERM xterm > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ cat /etc/redhat-release > Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ echo $TERM > xterm > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ ssh firestorm > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ cat /etc/redhat-release > Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ echo $TERM > xterm > > On the local 8.0 machine, man pages are a mess using a KDE Konsole, > so I have an alias: $ which man alias man='env LANG="C" man' Do not have the same problem with Gnome. Also, with the export LANG command, man man works. I have put your alias in the user .bash_profile on the RH 7.1 machine so I do not have to do an export everytime I do man. It is all magic!
