In /etc/profile I have this set
TZ='Australia/Sydney' LANG='C' LC_ALL='C' export TZ export LANG export LC_ALL
/etc/profile is only read by login shells of the Bourne tradition.
when I log in via a console I get all 3 set like that
When I log in via xdm and start a rxvt window with bash
It is missing LC_ALL.
Not sure where it is being lost ?
xdm is not a login shell - did you tell rxvt it was a login shell?
